I have allocated a data set with:

Now, I'd like to update it with:

           //  DISP=SHR,SPACE=(,,RLSE)

Hmmm. Maybe SPACE=(,(,),RLSE) ?? Just a guess.


I get a message on missing positional parameter.  I'd prefer not
to override the original SPACE options.  Must I override, merely
to add RLSE?

Hmmm.  In:

     http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v2r1/topic/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieab600
     Syntax
     z/OS MVS JCL Reference
     SA23-1385-00

I see:

     SPACE= 
({TRK,}(primary-qty[,second-qty][,directory])[,RLSE][,CONTIG][,ROUND])
            ({CYL,}            [,          ]             [,    ][,MXIG  ]
            ({blklgth,}                                         [,ALX   ]
            ({reclgth,}                                         [,      ]

Is there a misplaced '(' there?  I'm used to coding "SPACE=(TRK,pri,(sec,dir))"
but that seems to say it should be "SPACE=(TRK,(pri,sec,dir))".  Is that right?

Yes, the latter is correct.

And the optional "[...]" don't seem to be nested right.

Could be a fun RCF.  I hope they don't just say, "Ignore the diagram; rely on
the prose."
