<SNIIPAGE> Perhaps the same reason you allocate SYSPRINT and SYSOUT in an IEFBR14 step. (What about SYSIN?) Habit? Perhaps your installation has a different version of IEFBR14 from mine. I used SPACE=(1,0). I'm a minimalist. Does thle involve less work cleaning up the VTOC on DELETE? But I agree, IDCAMS is better; it avoids a job step with 3 allocations, and it avoids creating a data set only to delete it immediately. <SNIP> Seriously, I knew that you do this in ALLOC under TSO. But I've never seen SPACE=(1,1) work in JCL. I just looked at my old 1.7 manual and as I read it, you must code the allocation unit parm. Uh, OK, is it assuming a block of 1 byte in this case?
