Introduction
Dataset Fragmentation
When you create a dataset with a large primary allocation, there may not be a large enough
free space in the pool to contain the entire primary extent. BIM-EPIC can respond to this
condition by allocating the largest contiguous free space to the primary extent and allocating
secondary extents when the primary extent becomes full. This process is called dataset
fragmentation.
Fragmentation can be enabled globally by specifying the configuration option FRAG=YES.
Fragmentation can be enabled for an individual dataset by:
• Specifying the “F” option on a DLBL statement
• Specifying the MXIG or ALX subparameter in the SPACE parameter on a DD
statement
•
Allowing the operator to respond FRAG to the EP038 message
