Oops.  Dyslexia.  BSAM isn't BPAM, after all.  Thanks.  But I
recall having used a dummy data set in a PDS concatenation long
ago, and the M&C entry has a revision bar.  I wonder why DFSMS
chose to add the restriction?

For the same reasons that NULLFILE is useful, the OS ought to
provide a NULLPDS for use with utilities that require SYSLIB,
but the programmer has no useful content to supply.

Thanks again,
gil
