hi mayuresh

pls tell me how will you define a dataset in JCL?
is there any spl syntax for this other than dd dsn=x.y.z

i think this is also a silly doubt but clear me and
also clarify me whether there is a seperate storage for renames or same as that as redefines it has the same storage area

Hello muthukrishnan,

1) You can define a dataset as below in JCL...

DEFINE DATASET OFFL50 LIKE OFFL25 WITH SCOPE=SYSTEM -DSN=OFFL50 VOLUME=TAP002

for more information check out the following link

Code:

For any other information on dataset including instream datasets (defined in SYSIN DD * statement) checkout the following link

Code:

2) For detail description on RENAMES clause, have a look at the following link

Code:
[url]http://www.cis.scu.edu.tw/oproom/doc/acucobol/docs/comprun/gt400426.htm[/url]


I will get back to you on the memory requirements for the renames clause.

Hope this helps,

Regards

Mayuresh Tendulkar
