Model DSCB Processing

Data sets with zero extents allocated are most commonly acting as model DSCBs and should be treated separately from other data sets. Depending on how your DSCL selection criteria are set up, zero extent data sets can be automatically selected. To prevent selection of model DSCBs, use the DSCL EXCLUDE command with MODELDSC criteria parameter.

Note: Sometimes model DSCBs do not have valid DSORG information associated with them and CA Disk can bypass them for this reason. Consider specifying sysparm VCUDSORG with a value of Y to allow them to be moved.
