SPACE

Synopsis

HELP:   Space parameter for FLAMFILE allocation (mainframes only)
TYPE:   OBJECT
SYNTAX: SPACE(PRIMARY=num,SECONDARY=num,VOLSER='str',VOLUNIT='str',DATACLASS='str',MGMTCLASS='str',STORCLASS='str',DISPSTATUS=NEW/SHR/MOD/OLD,NORMALDISP=CATALOG/CATLG/DELETE/KEEP/UNCATALOG/UNCATLG,ABORTDISP=CATALOG/CATLG/DELETE/KEEP/UNCATALOG/UNCATLG)

Description

The FLAM4 file space allocation object collects several parameters for platforms where the cylinders or tracks, volume, classes and other things must be predefined.

The supported parameters are platform dependent. Only parameters relevant for a certain platform are used. This way its possible to store files on special volumes, units, and with SMS-classes without any JCL usage on z/OS®.

All size values must be given in megabytes (MiB). The calculation in the platform-dependent units (tracks, cylinders, ...) are done internally. NOTE: 1 MiB = 1024 KiB = 1024*1024 Byte
