ICSPACE keyword

The ICSPACE keyword specifies, for output image copy data sets, the amount of DASD space to allocate for a new non-SMS data set or to override the space allocation defined in the DATACLAS for an SMS data set.

This keyword is valid only if the BMC Image Copy utility is installed and licensed.

  • ICSPACE(u,n,n)—for type, primary, and secondary allocation
  • ICSPACE(u,n)—for type and primary allocation
  • ICSPACE( )

Values

Select from the following:

u

1-8 alphanumeric characters. The unit to use for allocating the output space. Cylinders (C or CYL), tracks (T or TRK), or a number (1-65535).

If you specify a number, its meaning is defined by the ICAVGREC keyword. If you specify U, K, or M and SMS is active, the Change Accumulation utility interprets u as the average record length. Otherwise, it interprets u as the average block length.

, n

Numeric (1-16777215). The number of primary units to allocate.

,, n

Numeric (1-16777215). The number of secondary units to allocate.

( )

Blank. Use DATACLAS defaults for SMS data sets; use operating system defaults for non-SMS data sets.
