Hi,
I used REFDD to referback the input relative GDG datasets. As per definition of REFDD it should model the SPACE characteristics, but i am getting a JCL error asking me to provide the SPACE parameter explicitly. |

So where does it say in the manual that this will give you what you want.
Please post your code for us to peruse. |

The manual says
Quote: |
Note: Do not use the REFDD parameter to copy attributes from a temporary data set (&&dsname), partitioned data set if a member name is included, and relative generation number for a GDG. |
and yet you say

I wonder which one is correct? |

Hi Krishna,
Why dont you use the LIKE parameter then..? It will, perhaps, serve ur purpose. But u will need to give the complete GDG name (ex: LIKE=ABCD.PQRS.GXXXXVYY ). Can you please post ur code along with the error message which u r getting now..? |

and the manual specifically states

where I've added emphasis to both quotes. Have you tried using the LIKE on a relative GDG? |

I guess the ideal way would be to use a specific DATACLAS in the SMS ACS routines for this particular GDS.
I am sure that coding space and DCB attributes in the JCL wouldn't kill the OP.
However, conspicuous by his absence - maybe it did |
