Yup, VVDSes existed way back then. I remember initializing new 3380Ds and Es,

each other. Some at the beginning of the volume, some 1/3 of the way through
depending on the type of data that was going to reside

Never been a good idea to recycle usage - or extend it.
If you VDEFINE ZSCROLLN, for whatever reason, as a 4-byte character field
and then good old ISPF extends it to 8-bytes then bad things happen.
