Hands-on Exercise Objective

After completing the hands-on exercises, you will be able to:

y y
Allocate KSDS dataset using JCL Identify the parameters used in creating a VSAM file

Problem Statement:

Prepare a JCL to allocate a KSDS for the following specifications:

Fixed record length of 40 bytes Primary space of 20 tracks and secondary space of 10 tracks CI freespace of 15 % and CA freespace of 20 % The first 6 bytes should be the key for the KSDS

Note: For ESDS or RRDS or VRRDS you do not assign any freespace

Deliverables Expected: Submit a document containing screenshots of the job submission and spool information with KSDS dataset in ISPF 3.4 Screen.
