2. Type the high-level VCAT node used to form the DB2 VSAM space data set names for the IT.
3. Type the DASD volumes in spaces 1 through 6 if you want to distribute tablespace and indexspace allocations across DASD volumes. Any space left blank defaults to the first volume entered.
4. Modify the VSAM volume field for space names if you want to specify the distribution manually.
5. Press F2 to verify and store the variables entered into a working copy of the variables table.
6. Press F6 to save the data you entered.
7. Select Save Variables on the Installation Variables Management Menu to write the values to the TILITSAV member in the JCL library.
