I'm not clear on what you are doing here. Are you saying this is somehow a replacement for this?
//REUSE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //MYFILE DD DSN=MY.FILE,SPACE=(0,0),DISP=(MOD,DELETE) //MYPGM EXEC PGM=MYPGM //MYFILE DD DSN=MY.FILE,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DISP=(NEW,CATLG) How would this look using your method?
