P asks the system to allocate the same number of devices as requested by the volume count or SER subparameters of the VOLUME parameter, whichever is higher - the effect is that all volumes for the data set are mounted at the same time
Had a problem allocating a NON SMS Large PS file that would not span volumes; is anyone on this list familiar with the parameter UNIT=(3390,P) which worked? This parameter pre-allocates the volsers; never saw this before and is this a new feature with z/OS R1.13? //DD01 DD DSN=DSN1,DISP=SHR // DD DSN=DSN2,DISP=SHR // DD DSN=DSN3,DISP=SHR //DD01O DD DSN=DSN.OUTPUT, // DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=(3390,P),DSNTYPE=LARGE, // DCB=(NFCP.PRODMODL,DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB,LRECL=200,BLKSIZE=0), // SPACE=(CYL,(4369,4369),RLSE),VOL=(,,,7) ********************************************************************** This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
