ADDDS Control Statement

The ADDDS control statement is used to create a space or add additional space to an existing database. Space is added by creating a data set and formatting it with fixed-length blocks. First, define the high-level name of the database with the NAME control statement (or the PARM parameter of the EXEC JCL statement). ADDDS optionally supports IBM's System Managed Storage (SMS).
