Oops. In a previous reply to this question, responded YES.

I humbly (rare for me) apologize. Shortly thereafter I received and
read Alfredo's response which was No and was explained.

Sorry.

P.S. Wouldn't it have been wonderful if, way back then, the Lab had
bitten the bullet and modified the file system to extend the size limit
on files instead of resorting to the jumbo dataset kludge. That
approach would have solved the file size limits for ALL files (except
KSAM?) not just dataset files and would have made life simpler for
everyone.
