CA EPIC for z/VSE DD Statements

The CA EPIC for z/VSE DD statement is an MVS-style dataset label for VSE installations. For many users, its primary benefit is compatibility with MVS, because it simplifies moving JCL between the two operating systems. The DD statement also offers several options which are unavailable with standard VSE labels, even when using CA EPIC for z/VSE TLBL and DLBL options. If the TSIDOSJ module is not in the SVA, the DD statements are processed by VSE as comments.
