Re: Split Cylinder DASD allocation
I was curious to know if split-cylinder allocation still worked, and tried
submitting a job using the OS/360 syntax:
//SPLITCYL DD DSN=...,DISP=(,CATLG),
// UNIT=SYSDA,SPLIT=(6,CYL,10),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80)
To my surprise, I did NOT get a JCL error! What I DID get was a 60 track file
on a cylinder boundary, same as if I'd said "SPACE=(CYL,4)". Obviously not an
actual split-cylinder allocation, but interesting that "SPLIT=" is still
acceptable
syntax.
