Hi,
Your conclusion is correct, but there is a currently known problem with PRO/JCL
(from ASG) that erroneously says that it's not valid. There are actually
several PRO/JCL problems that we have open with ASG currently, related to GDG
processing with tape and also tape processing with disp=MOD

I would doubt there is any reason to use SWA=BELOW unless someone is chasing
the TIOT(?) chain using logic that was invalidated w/MVS/ESA.
I once has an application program that choked on this.
A relatively small source code change to use RDJFCB, instead of chaseing the
chain resolved the issue.
Did something change with VOLCOUNT parameter handling between z/OS 2.1 and 2.3?
We have a job that uses 21 tapes to backup an application's datasets, and has
this parameter: VOL=(,RETAIN,,20),
Following the upgrade to 2.3 at the weekend, this job failed S837-08,
indicating it has run out of tape

@Jim, thanks. A couple of follow-ups if I may.
- What is the proper return from an XMPOST ERRET routine? BR 14? I don't see
anything in the docs.
- Would an XMPOST LINKAGE=BRANCH ERRET routine get passed the ABEND code?
Where?

1. Use PDSE on LNKLST whenever possible
2. For PDS do not use secondary allocation (and single extent for

3. Keep number of "your own" libraries as small as possible
