Better than that, try here: IEBUPDTE (Update Data Set) Program

Hello,
If you want to use IEBUPDTE, you can, but you can also use
| Code: |
//BR14A EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1 DD DSN=your.dsn,DISP=(,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80),
// SPACE=(TRK,(10,10,5))
|
This will let the system generate the blocksize. You can specify one if you want/need to. You can also change the lrecl as needed. If the pds is going to be a loadlib, use RECFM=U and LRECL=0. When you allocate a pds it is usually a good idea to look at the attributes of a similar pds on your system and allocate using the same attributes - whic is true regardless of how you do the allocate.
Because it is usually a one-time process a pds is often just allocated in tso 3.2. Bring up the info of a known pds and allocate the new one using the same attributes changing the dsn, storage class/volume info, and space as required. As mentioned previously, use a pds that has similar use. |
