True . The DFSMS Implementing SMS manual says this:
"For sequential data sets, SMS writes a hardware EOF at
the beginning of the data set at initial allocation.
This prevents data integrity problems when
applications try to read the data before data is
written in the data set."
I think I recall a discussion where it didn't but the problem was that there
was no DSORG specified or defaulted by the DATACLAS routine.
Or something along those lines.
