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." -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
