$PSDS81X and $PSDS81Z Parameters

The $PSDS81X and $PSDS81Z exits have the following keyword parameters:

  DSN=datasetname
[ DISP={ SHR | OLD | NEW | MOD } ]
[ LRECL={ n | 80 } ]
[ SKIP0={ NEWLINE | DISCARD | DESTRUCTIVE | 
          NONDESTRUCTIVE } ]
[ CYL= pri [,sec] [,dir] ]
[ TRK={ pri [,sec] [,dir] | 15,5 } ]
[ BLKSZ= n ]
[ STORC= storclas ]
[ MGMTC= mgmtclas ]
[ DATAC= dataclas ]
[ VOL= volser ]
[ UNIT={ unit | SYSALLDA} ]
[ RECFM={ F | FB | V | VB } ]

DSN=datasetname

Specifies the target data set name. If the data set is partitioned, the member name must be included or the data set is corrupted.

You can use the following symbolics in the datasetname parameter:

• &DAY is the day of the week (for example, MON).
• &YY is the two-digit representation of the year (for example, 11).
• &YYYY is the four-digit representation of the year (for example, 2011).
• &MM is the two-digit representation of the month (for example, 02).
• &MON is the three-character representation of the month (for example, JAN and FEB).
• &DD is the day of the month.
• &HHMMSS is the time.
• &HH is the hour.
• &MIN is the minute.
• &JOBID is the job ID.
• &JOBNAME is the job name.
• &NMID is the region ID.
• &NMDID is the region domain ID (DID).
• &GRPNAME is the sysplex name.
• &SYSID is the system ID.
• &SYSNAME is the system name.
• &USERID is the requesting user ID.

Symbolics are delimited by a period (.) or another symbolic (that is, &YY&MM. is the same as &YY.&MM.). Symbolics are also allowed in a member name.

Example:

DSN=NM.&SYSID..&USERID..D&YY&MM&DD..T&HHMMSS..DATA

For example, this specification can resolve to the following data set name:

DSN=NM.SYSA.MYUSER.D040915.T144505.DATA

DISP={ SHR | OLD | NEW | MOD }

Specifies the disposition of the output data set.

• SHR specifies shared use of the data set.
• OLD specifies exclusive use of the data set.
• NEW allocates a new data set.
• MOD appends the output in the file.

Default: SHR

LRECL={ n | 80 }

Specifies the output record length.

Limits: 1 through 250

Default: 80

SKIP0={ NEWLINE | DISCARD | DESTRUCTIVE | NONDESTRUCTIVE }

Specifies how to process a data line with a skip amount of zero.

• NEWLINE creates a line of data.
• DISCARD discards the line of data.
• DESTRUCTIVE causes the data to replace the existing data line.
• NONDESTRUCTIVE overlays the data on the existing data line, but only where blanks were present on the existing data line. No existing non-blank characters are modified.

Note: The procedures ignore the following PSM print options: NEWPAGE and USCORE.

Default: NEWLINE

The following additional parameters are applicable when DISP=NEW is specified:

CYL=pri,sec,dir

Specifies the primary and secondary space allocation values in cylinders. If a partitioned data set is used, the parameter specifies the number of directory blocks.

TRK=pri,sec,dir

Specifies the primary and secondary space allocation values in tracks. If a partitioned data set is used, the parameter specifies the number of directory blocks.

Default: TRK=15,5

BLKSZ=blocksize

Specifies the block size.

STORC=storclas

Specifies the storage class.

MGMTC=mgmtclas

Specifies the management class.

DATAC=dataclas

Specifies the data class.

VOL=volser

Specifies the volume serial number.

UNIT= { unit | SYSALLDA }

Specifies the unit.

Default: SYSALLDA if volser is specified

RECFM= { F | FB | V | VB }

Specifies the record format.

Default: FB
