Thanks a lot for the pointer, in this case it means the no of devices to be allocated, but still could not undertand whether no of devices mean the same as no of volumes to be allocated. Can we conclude that the file requires and so we are allocating 55 volumes for the same?
thanks a ton anyways!!!!111 |

Hi Anuj,
Well sorry for confusing, I just needed to know like how can i define the parameter '55' in the Unit parameter. What does it stand for? IS it no of devices? I am sure UNIT and VOL are 2 different parameters.
thnx again |

| Take a look at the JCL reference manual - easily accessible from the IBM Manuals button at the top of each page. |

Yes, they are. . .
Have you now read the info via the link suggested? Is it now clear? |

No need of sorry, we all have some ambiguous queries at times ... 
- The UNIT parameter identifies the type of device a data set is to reside on.
- The UNIT parameter can also tell MVS how many devices to assign and to defer mounting the volume on the device until the data set is actually opened for processing.
So to answer your questions -- "55" stands for 55-number-of-devices.
As suggest earlier, please take a look at the JCL reference manual - easily accessible from the IBM Manuals button at the top of each page. |
