Friday question: empty data set allocation
Will allocation with SPACE=(CYL,0),UNIT= succeed if has available VTOC entries but no available extents? (Why not?) What if there are available extents but all are smaller than one cylinder? -- gil -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

This is how you create a MODEL DSCB, like for GDG purposes.
