Currently we have old legacy programs that must have the KSDS VSAM initailaized before use. To get arround this we use quickjob to write a record then delete the record so the file is initialized
Is there way arround this without rewriting the program?

No. This is not a legacy program requirement, it is a VSAM requirement. The requirement is that a VSAM file that has not been opened for output and had a record written (even if it is then deleted) CANNOT be opened for input.

add a low or high values key record. Remove that record after you have used the file and added 'proper' records

the process to <prime> the file is already in place, the TS is just asking how to get rid of the <priming>
anyway the answer is NO
