Hi,
I have a question about the S99CATLG flag during the dynamic
allocation. I am trying to figure out wither or not I should set in
on during the allocation of a spool file.
The IBM doc is rather opaque about this flag. All it says is "ALLOC
FUNCTION-SET SPECIAL CATALOG DATA SET INDICATORS". Exactly, what the
heck does that mean!
I have been told that, when allocating an output spool files, if
S99CATLG=1 is set, then an SVC 26 is avoided during allocation. I
guess whether or not that would be a good thing would depend upon the
specific purpose of this particular SVC 26 call. Does anyone know?
Also, would there be any other consequences of setting S99CATLG=1?
Thanks,
