IDCAMS is just a utility that was included with VSAM. IBM initially
offered VSAM as an Incremental Change Release (ICR), but the ICF came
in with the program product DF/EF. DFP and later DFSMS included the
DF/EF code base.
I am sure even IBM wants to forget the mega ptf tapes that came from
IBM, right?
Not nearly as much as they want to forget the letter saying that if
you haven't already installed it, don't. I missed[1] that particular
bloodbath.
[1] In the sense of not being one of the casualties, not in the
sense of regretting that I missed out.
I remember that letter. We received it right after we converted our
primary production catalog. Thankfully we didn't get hit (or so I
remember after 30 years) by any major problems afterwards.
