Also oversimplified. The context of the OP is allocation of a NEW dataset. A subsequent allocation of a new dataset through dynamic allocation as you described requires a different dataset to the one in the JCL. It can have the same name, but it is not the same NEW dataset. The devil's in the details. > > >Otherwise, what is your suggestion so I will get it right next time? > > "The IEFBR14 example from the original post is one example of JCL that > would cause the allocation of such a dataset when the jobstep is > scheduled." [Ron Hawkins] Thanks Seymour. That paraphrases my suggested correction perfectly.
