UNIT

If you do not allocate temporary data sets using SMS, the UNIT operand can be used to indicate a DASD unit type or specific device where SMFDLS can dynamically allocate the SYSIN data set for IFASMFDL.

Note: Either STORCLAS or UNIT must be specified, but not both. Neither statement has a default so one must be present so that a dynamic allocation request can be made by SMFDLS for disk space for the generation of the input control statements for IFASMFDL.

Statement Format:

UNIT

►►─ UNIT(unit name or address) ───────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

Operands and Descriptions:

(unit name or address)

Identifies the unit by the name or address you use for the DASD device where the SYSIN data set for IFASMFDL will be allocated. There is no default.

Sample UNIT Statement:

To dump all recent data for the local system from logstream IFASMF.ACCTG, and allocate the SYSIN data set for IFASMFDL on a 3390:

LSNAME(IFASMF.ACCTG)
UNIT(3390)
