Sorry, I should have said CA-ALLOCATE. I would like to use your suggestion but since I have lots of other jobs that use the LIKE parm it would be difficult to maintain. That's why I thought the MODEL would be a solution. Thanks for your suggestion.

I was told that there is a bug with CA-DISK which does this. As John stated before, you need to use the ALLOCATE command. The DEFINE NVSAM() will only create a catalog entry. I also don't see how CA-Disk would impact dataset allocation. Do you mean CA-Allocate? Some others have reported problems with zero directory blocks when using the LIKE parameter. I got the impression that neither CA product was in use. I think you are going to need to code SPACE= parameter to get what you want.
