1. Allocating Work Files for the DISK Option

(USADEFN) If you specify DISK in the Audit statement, you must allocate two direct access disk files: one for the db-key hash table and one for the db-key save table. These direct access files may be VSAM or BDAM. If you choose to allocate these files as VSAM, they must be defined through AMSERV. See Allocating Work Files for the DISK Option and Figure 5.5 above for sample AMSERV control statements for file allocation.

If you choose to allocate these files as BDAM, you do not need to use AMSERV. Instead, revise your EXEC (as shown in Figure 5.13b) to contain the statements shown in Figure 5.13a.

 * FILES NEEDED ONLY IF DISK OPTION IS SPECIFIED
 * AND BDAM IS CHOSEN
 *
 FILEDEF   DBKHASH       fn ft fm6 (DSORG DA
 FILEDEF   DBKHA@@       fn ft fm6 (DSORG DA
 FILEDEF   DBKSAVE       fn ft fm6 (DSORG DA
 FILEDEF   DBKSA@@       fn ft fm6 (DSORG DA
 *
 * DBKHA@@ MUST HAVE THE SAME FILEID AS DBKHASH
 * AND DBKSA@@ MUST HAVE THE SAME FILEID AS DBKSAVE
