Defining Optical Disk Data Sets

When SYSOUT groups are being migrated to optical disk storage, CA View creates data sets automatically. Only one SYSOUT data set is created for each emulated tape volume.

CA View continues to write SYSOUT groups to the data set on the emulated tape volume until the data set is full. Each SYSOUT group is separated from the next by an EOD record.

When a SYSOUT group is being written to secondary disk and the end of volume is reached, CA View does the following:

• Terminates the data set
• Allocates a new data set on the next emulated tape volume in the volume serial number range
• Continues writing to the new data set

DCB attributes for the data set are:

RECFM=VB
LRECL=32756
BLKSIZE=32760
