IIRC the VSAM file needs to be SMS managed and / or a dataclass used the allow for extended attributes.

I am trying to define an LDS of 5992 or so cylinders and I am getting IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 140 - REASON CODE IS IDC3009I IGG0CLEV-110 Which I interpret as saying a non-extended format cluster may not be more than 4GB. Is that what VSAM is telling me? If so, what do I need to do to define it as extended? I don't see any relevant parameter on IDCAMS DEFINE CLUSTER. z/OS V2R1, non SMS volume, FWIW.
