Resolution

The 113-44 very clearly says: 44 An attempt was made to open an EAS eligible data set that has a format 8 DSCB, but the DCBE flag, DCBEEADSCBOK, indicating that the caller understands extended attribute (Format 8/9) DSCBs was not set.
This restriction applies only to an EXCP DCB or to a BDAM DCB that has OPTCD=A. The application program did not set EADSCB=OK in the DCBE macro. The data set was created with the EATTR=OPT option. Either change the program to handle 28-bit cylinder numbers and code EADSCB=OK, or use a data set that does not have EATTR=OPT.
Using a dataclas with EATTR=NO for allocation of the FILES the message is no more displayed..
