Customer content
It's a report from the internal person trying to install Zowe, and the person was surprised by the behavior of the zwe init.

zwe init vsam --security-dry-run

Create VSAM storage for Zowe Caching Service

Modify ZWECSVSM

  • ZDNT.ZOWE.V220.JCLLIB(ZWECSVSM) is prepared

Submit ZDNT.ZOWE.V220.JCLLIB(ZWECSVSM)

  • Job ZWECSVSM(JOB02349) ends with code 0 (COMPLETED).

Zowe Caching Service VSAM storage is created successfully.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It seems that the VSAM is actually created instead of the JCL being prepared, but the documentation clearly states on
https://docs.zowe.org/stable/user-guide/initialize-vsam-dataset/ :

If you want to preview the member before submitting it use the value --security-dry-run, otherwise the command will submit the JCL and wait for its completion.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either change the documentation to reflect what is actually happening or change the behavior so it behaves as stated in documentation.

Will be solved in 3718:
--security-dry-run will be used for security setup, dry-run will be generally used for printing JCL without submitting.
