Thanks for reply . By seeing this sample JCL you provided,
//PAGESPCE EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DEFINE PAGESPACE( -
NAME(PAGE.BUBBA.COMMON) -
FILE(VOLSER) -
VOL(volser) -
RECATALOG) -
CAT(new.master.catalog)
/*
//VOLSER DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=volser
Don't I have to use space parameter while defining common dataset. Please
suggest.
