BSAM and QSAM with extended format require a level of DFSMSdfp that supports it. EXCP with extended format requires application code to deal with it. The same applies to EAV.
Even when striping is handled by the director, you would need the appropriate CCWs to request it. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I would think that striping occurs at a much lower level than QSAM (probably EXCP or lower? maybe "Media Manager" level?) so one would expect that QSAM wouldn't even know it was happening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
