I am writing a simple EXEC command so that running Z/OS programs can be
executed in much the same way that Linux and Windows programs are
executed. For example:
EXEC PAYROLL1 Payroll.Input.dets Payroll.validated.dets;
where the program Payroll1 inputs and outputs a file after validating the
transactions.

I asked Google's AI (gemini.Google.com) the following question:
"These days, with SMS what does a typical JCL statement look like for
allocating new data sets? Does one code Space, Unit and Recfm, or leave it
off the JCL and rely on SMS?"
Google gave a long answer (try it yourself?) but in essence it said:
"With SMS, the JCL becomes much cleaner. The system handles the allocation
details based on its policy. A typical DD statement for a new dataset now
looks more like this:
"Code snippet
//NEWDS DD DSN=MY.TEST.FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)
----------------------------
Is this correct, or does most JCL still have SPACE etc coded for new data
sets?
Many thanks,
Clem Clarke
