Parameters for VSAM Index Components Without DEFER

Specify one or more of the following parameters only if you want to change a particular value for the cluster from that which is found on the archive medium. If a value is given at both the cluster and component level (for example, ALLOC= and DALLOC=), the value specified at the data or index level will take precedence over the cluster value, just as IDCAMS does when you issue a DEFINE. See the IBM publication Access Method Services Reference for a more complete description of the following parameters.

INAME=

This parameter specifies a new index component name. You can specify either an explicit data set name or a symbolic name that starts with a "$". A "$" instructs CA Disk to use the cluster name as a base name and to append to it the string following the "$". A second "$" causes the string ".INDEX" to be appended to the cluster name.

For example with a cluster name of VSAM.CLUSTER:

• If INAME=VSAM.CLSTR.INDEX.COMP, the index component name will be VSAM.CLSTR.INDEX.COMP.
• If INAME=$$, the index component name will be VSAM.CLUSTER.INDEX.
• If INAME=$.INDEX.COMP, the index component name will be VSAM.CLUSTER.INDEX.COMP.
• If INAME=$INDEX.COMP, the index component name will be VSAM.CLUSTER.INDEX.COMP.

IALLOC=

This parameter allocates space for the index component by type, primary amount and secondary amount. The format is IALLOC=(TYP,PA,SA).

Where:

TYP CYL (cylinders), TRK (tracks), or REC (records)

PA Primary allocation amount — must be from 1 to 99999999

SA Secondary allocation amount — must be from 0 to 99999999

Note: CA Disk will specify the values you request, but IBM's catalog management can change it and give absolutely no warning that it has done so. Combinations of attributes that it does not like usually cause this.

ICISZ=

Specify the size of the control interval in the index component. The largest CI size is 32768. If this parameter is specified and BUFFERSPACE is not, CA Disk will zero out the buffer space value passed to catalog management so that a new buffer space amount can be calculated based on the new control interval size. If a value of 0 is specified, Access Method Services will calculate a new control interval size.

IMASTERPW=

Specify the new master level password of the index component.

ICONTROLPW=

Specify the new control interval level password of the index component.

IUPDATEPW=

Specify the new update level password of the index component.

IREADPW=

Specify the new read level password of the index component.

IATTEMPTS=

Specify the number of attempts (0 to 7) for entering a password for the index component.

IOWNER=

Specify the new owner ID of the index component. It is 1 to 8 alphanumeric or special characters.

ISHROPTIONS=

Specify how the index component can be shared among users. The format is ISHROPTIONS=(CR,CS).

Where:

CR Cross-region options are 1 through 4

CS Cross-system options are 3 through 4

IVOLSERS=

Specify a list of from one to twenty volumes on which the index component is to be allocated. Non-MVS accounts are limited to a total of five volumes.

IORDER

This parameter indicates the volume(s) are to be used in the order listed.

IUNORDER

This parameter indicates the volume(s) are to be used in any order.

IWRITECHK

This parameter indicates a check is to be issued after every write.

INOWRITECHK

This parameter indicates a check is not to be issued after every write.
