I have to admit: I almost never used DCB keyword in JCL and (AFAIR)
absolutely never DCB=HLQ.DATASET.NAME.
When teaching JCL I explain it, but also advice to not using that.
BTW: LIKE=HLQ.FOO-BAR works like a charm.
in <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=dp-syntax-2>:
[ DCB= ( {dsname }[,subparameter]...) ]
Is it possible likewise to override selected subparameters
of LIKE? Was it so even before the subparameters were allowed
as separare parameters? (Old habits diehard.)
Yes, yes, and yes.
I always use (and teach) that technique - LIKE says "I want the same,
BUT..." and you provide the differences.
Of course it is IMHO unacceptable to *partially* support legal DS names
in JCL - I mean DCB not accepting HLQ.FOO-BAR.
