To your original question:
The help text has an interesting statement:
Referring to OUTDSNAME and OUTDDNAME as the keyword
"This keyword is intended to be used in
conjunction with the Interactive Data Transmission
Facility RECEIVE command INDATASET/INDSNAME/
INFILE/INDDNAME keywords. It will be generally
used by your installation support personnel.
NOTE: The data set attributes of the data set
associated with the OUTDDNAME allocation will
be: LRECL=80 BLKSIZE=3120 RECFM=FB. "
I would guess that the support people assigned to RECEIVE/TRANSMIT have left it
this way because of the Interactive Data Transmissions Facility part of TSO/E
and its specifications.
A local modification via SMPE as previously suggested wouldn't be a bad idea if
you can get it pass the sysprog or change control in your company...
