attributes of the new data set.
You can use the ALLOCATE command to create a PDS instead of using
ISPF/PDF panels. If you noted attributes in the Preliminary Checklist #5 on
page 187, substitute the attributes from the appropriate system file in the
following example. If you are unsure about which system file is appropriate, use
the values from SYSEXEC.
Note: In the ALLOCATE command, specify a record format of VB as
RECFM(v,b) and a record format of FB as RECFM(f,b).
If your installation has no attribute recommendations and you have no attributes
from the Preliminary Checklist, you can use the attributes in the following
example.
===> ===>
(Blank for member selection list)
(If not cataloged)
(If password protected)
(Blank defaults to data set type)
LOCK ===> YES (YES, NO or NEVER)
MIXED MODE ===> NO
/* Put the user's response
into a variable called
"usertime" */
/* command */
