what You want is not what VSAM wants...
and I guess that VSAM is more assertive in its desires than You
a KSDS has by architecture three catalog entries..
and two vtoc entries
cluster component - catalog only
( the one You use on the dd statement )
Index component - catalog and vtoc
data component - catalog and vtoc
You might call them in any way You want but they will be always there |

As Mick Jagger told us many, many years ago, "You Can't Always Get What You Want".
What are you trying to accomplish? If you explain what you need/want to actually do (not how you want to accomplish it), someone may have a suggestion. |

Depends. . .
Possibly the most-recognized "riff/fill" in all of pop/rock music. . .
"Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name. . .". |

Wild horses couldn't keep me away ...............
But as for the OP - does he just mean that he doesn't want .DATA nd .INDEX as the component suffixes ? |

we can an vsam file without .data and .index by writing the following in the define parameter.
OWNER($IAM) |

Of course, that means the dataset is IAM, not VSAM. |
