The section is Job Control Statements, Table 9. In my version of the manual it reads (note the last two lines): SYSUT2 or anyname2 DD Defines a partitioned data set or unload data set for output. A partitioned data set must reside on DASD or be a VIO data set. The unload data set is a sequential data set that was created as the result of an unload operation and may reside on DASD or tape or any other device supported by the QSAM access method.
