That link is for running a TSO command. The classic way for allocating a legacy dataset is DAIR, and the classic way for MVS-aware code is SVC 99.

The use of IND$FILE remains so prevalent (partly because of absurd site security rules), and the use of zFS has become so prevalent, that the union should be sanctified. I can hardly imagine that transferring a Classic data set is performed except by ALLOCATing it, and a general technique for allocation is hinted at in: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.bpxa500/tso.htm The match should be made. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
