Would not think "V" could be included. "VBS" is just a variation of
"VB" where the RDW is treated as a SDW where X'0000' in the "BB"
field indicates a non-segmented (i.e full variable length record" in
the buffer).
Another approach would be to not open the file as concatenated, but
treat the TIOT entries for the DDNAME as a list of data sets to be
dynamically allocated separately and then each processed on it's
own. using that approach, you can "concatenated" VSAM files.

In fact, can't any mixture of RECFM=V, VB, and VBS be overriden to
those specifications?
