2.8 Additional Data Set Allocations


Use the Additional Data Set Allocations option to specify
user or data center data sets you want allocated for MICF
inquiry execution.  You can associate a data set allocation
with color graphics processing, or you can specify that the
data set should be allocated for all inquiry executions.  For
example, you might use this option to allocate your
data center's GDDM profile data set to DDNAME ADMDEFS.

When you select this option, a scrollable list of the user
and data center data sets you want MICF to allocate for
inquiry execution and color graphics processing is displayed.
Each row of the display describes one data set.  A single
blank entry is provided when you first select this option.

The Additional Data Set Allocations parameters are:

DDNAME

    A 1-8 character DDNAME for data set allocation.  DDNAME
    must be unique and must not conflict with any standard
    CA MICS/MICF DDNAMEs.  MICF will allocate the specified
    data set name to this DDNAME.

DISP

    The data set disposition for data set allocation.
    Specify SHR, OLD, or MOD.

Data Set Name

    The data set you want allocated.  Code this parameter as
    you would any other data set name.  If you do not enclose
    the value in quotes, your TSO user PREFIX will be
    appended to the front before allocating the data set.  To
    allocate a member of a partitioned data set, include the
    member name in this parameter.

Graph

    Specify YES, or Y, to associate this data set with color
    graphics processing.  The data set will be allocated for
    MICF color graphics inquiry execution and for color
    graphics replay.  The data set will NOT be allocated for
    inquiries that do not generate color graphics outputs.

    Specify NO, or N, to allocate this data set for ALL MICF
    inquiry executions.  The data set will NOT be allocated
    for color graphics replay.
