The OP asked for batch, and I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that he wanted to do it with JCL for a vendor product installation.
SYSDA, SYSALLDA, or 3390 - all should work as generic unit types and an optional vol=ser=xxxxxx may be needed if SMS is not active and/or the dasd is not mounted as public. Doing it using REXX, or some other scripting language, would also work. Lionel B.

What releases does the OP wish to support? IS SYALLSDA preferable to SYSDA since the latter is nonstandard? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
