Changes to Variables and ASR

The following changes were made to variables and ASR.

• The ASR WRITE statements no longer display numeric values with a leading blank.
• In the ALLOC, SPACE, and EXTEND Environments, the value of the DSORG variable reflects PSE when the following settings occur:
  • The DSNTYPE variable reflects either EXC or EXR or
  • The DC_DSNTY variable reflects either EXC or EXR.

  An exception occurs when:

  • The DC_DSNTY variable reflects EXC or
  • The EXR and the DSNTYPE variable reflect another DSORG.

  The DSNTYPE JCL parameter overrides any data set name type that is specified in the associated Data Class. The DSTYPE variable shows the value GDG in the DEFINE environment when a GDG base is defined.
