DSNSHARE: Share VSAM Control Block Structure

Default: DSNSHARE=YES

Option: DSNSHARE=NO

Specify YES to share VSAM control block structure. YES causes different DDs pointing to the same cluster to use the same VSAM control block structure, including buffers. This can reduce I/Os and allow updates performed by one DD to be available immediately by the other.

DSNSHARE=NO does not share VSAM control block structure.
