I have allocated a data set with:

          //  DISP=(MOD,CATLG),SPACE=(10000,(100,100))

Now, I'd like to update it with:

          //  DISP=SHR,SPACE=(,,RLSE)

I get a message on missing positional parameter.  I'd prefer not
to override the original SPACE options.  Must I override, merely
to add RLSE?

Hmmm.  In:

    http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v2r1/topic/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieab600
    Syntax
    z/OS MVS JCL Reference
    SA23-1385-00 

I see:

    SPACE= 
({TRK,}(primary-qty[,second-qty][,directory])[,RLSE][,CONTIG][,ROUND])
           ({CYL,}            [,          ]             [,    ][,MXIG  ]
           ({blklgth,}                                         [,ALX   ]
           ({reclgth,}                                         [,      ]

Is there a misplaced '(' there?  I'm used to coding "SPACE=(TRK,pri,(sec,dir))"
but that seems to say it should be "SPACE=(TRK,(pri,sec,dir))".  Is that right?
And the optional "[...]" don't seem to be nested right.

Could be a fun RCF.  I hope they don't just say, "Ignore the diagram; rely on
the prose."
