Has anyone tried setting DSNTYPE=LIBRARY for SMPWRK6? I'm doing a z/OS 2.4 cumulative maintenance install. Our temporary dataset allocations are SMS, and the volumes are 3390-9. I had set SMPWRK6 to CYL(3500,250,5000). But, my job kept abending with an E37 on SMPWRK6. In desperation, I allocated a permanent dataset with DSNTYPE=LIBRARY, and put a DD statement in my APPLY that pointed to it.
Not only did the E37 go away, but my job ran much, much faster. I was curious if anyone else has experimented with this? To me, it appears that DSNTYPE=LIBRARY could speedup APPLY processing.
