File Allocation

Use the following JCL as a model to allocate the central parameter file:

//jobname JOB     (data center accounting parameters)
//JS010  EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1    DD   DSN=dsname,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
//            UNIT=diskunit,VOL=SER=diskvol,
//            SPACE=(TRK,(2,1,2)),
//            DCB=(DSORG=PO,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=6160)
//
dsname

Specifies the name you specified for the EPDSN control statement during installation.

diskunit

Specifies the generic or esoteric unit name for permanent allocations.

diskvol

Specifies the volume where the file is allocated. If you specified the EPVOL control statement during installation, diskvol should match the value you specified for EPVOL.

Once the central parameter file is allocated, the OPTIONS, TNGNODES, SYMBPARM, and EXDATA members can be created as needed.
