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

Subject: How define a cluster bigger than 4GB? 

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. 

Thanks, 

Charles
