No, this JCL is recataloging a currently-existing page dataset into your new master catalog. You would use SPACE if you were creating a new page dataset.

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.
