I suspect you'll have better luck if you search for EAS. Unfortunately,
that overloaded acronym is also a VTAM term, so you might want to use
something like "EAS data set" or "data set EAS" instead.
I ran many different searches trying to find this information, also
using the term "cylinder-managed" space. While it directed me to the
EAV section of the DFSMS Using Datasets manual, not one example of how
to allocate a dataset in the cylinder-managed space.
OK. I just tried searching for 'EAS' (no other words) using the
_dreaded_ knowledge center
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2/en/homepage.html
As predicted, there are several matches having to do with the VTAM APPL
usage. Ignoring those, the 6th hit is the doc on EATTR= JCL parameter
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieab600/iea3b6_Subparameter_definition19.htm?lang=en
which contains:
<IBM Documentation>
EATTR = OPT
Extended attributes are optional. The data set can have extended
attributes and reside in EAS. This is the default value for VSAM data sets.
EATTR = NO
No extended attributes. The data set cannot have extended
attributes (format 8 and 9 DSCBs) or reside in EAS. This is the default
value for non-VSAM data sets.
</IBM Documentation>
The 7th hit is the EATTR doc for SVC 99 callers.
