The model was required with operating systems MFT amd MVT. The model
requirement went away when IDCAMS became available.
I don't think so!
I've only worked with MVS & up, and I learned the hard way about models being
required.
----------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------------
As far back as I can remember, there were always two ways to provide a
model.
1. Create a zero-space dataset, with the appropriate characteristics, of
the same name as the Generation Index, on the same volume as the catalog
containing the Generation index.
2. use the DCB=dsname construct, with appropriate characteristics, on
the allocating DD statement. Many shops use this approach, pointing to a
single model DSCB that was the same name for everyone.
So, some sort of model is required, but not necessarily a model named
the same as the generation index.
