Examples In the following example for a controlled dataset, the dataset asks for
primary and secondary allocations of 5 cylinders. Unused space will be
released. The dataset will be automatically cataloged.
* //DISKIN DD DSN=INVENTRY.FILE,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5),RLSE),
* // DISP=(NEW,CATLG)
In the following example, the same exact space requirements are set.
However because the DISP parameter does not tell BIM-EPIC to
automatically catalog the dataset, the dataset is treated as a Start Track 1
dataset. The VOLUME parameter is also specified because it is required
for a Start Track 1 dataset.
* //DISKIN DD DSN=INVENTRY.FILE,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5),RLSE),
* // DISP=(NEW,KEEP),VOL=SER=SYSWK1
Uncontrolled
Dataset Syntax
The following provides an example of a SPACE uncontrolled dataset
syntax:
SPACE=(ABSTR,(size-specification))
RLSE Causes unused allocated space to be truncated
when the dataset is closed. If RLSE is not
specified, truncation does not occur.
Note: For cataloged datasets, if the DD SPACE
parameter is not coded, truncation will occur.
frag-control
CONTIG Specifies that each allocation must be made using
consecutive tracks or blocks for the entire
allocation amount. This is the same as the DLBL
option code H.
MXIG
ALX
Specify fragmentation without operator
intervention. This is the same as the DLBL option
code F.
You can specify only one of the CONTIG, MXIG,
or ALX subparameters.
MXIG and ALX have different meanings in MVS.
See an MVS JCL manual for additional
information.
ROUND Specifies allocation alignment on a cylinder
boundary.
