Hi !

In your example SYS1.DUMMY is a modell-dcb.
You're using the file attributes, dcb-parameters, of this modell.
Recfm and Lrecl then are overwritten with your declarations.

It indicates to me that your datasets are not SMS-managed.

You might want to refer to this topic in the z/OS V1R7.0 DFSMS Using Data Sets manual. Note the restriction.
