BMC AMI Load +ALLO


+ALLO controls the value that BMC AMI Load use for the primary allocation quantity for a new table space. Include this parameter in the RRGPARMX DD data set to control index data set allocations.

The +ALLO parameter determines the data set PQTY and SEQTY value and controls the value that BMC AMI Utilities use for a new table space allocation. Use this parameter in the following DD statements:

  • RRGPARMS to control table space allocations
  • RRGPARMX to control index data set allocations

Important

For the rules that apply to parameter syntax, see Parameter syntax rules.

USED

(default) Specifies that BMC AMI Utilities should use the space amount from the existing data set as the primary quantity for the new data set

This value is obtained from the high-used RBA in the VSAM catalog.

ALLO

Specifies that BMC AMI Utilities should use the currently allocated space amount from the existing data set as the primary quantity for the new data set

The value is obtained from the high-allocated RBA in the VSAM catalog.

Db2

Specifies that BMC AMI Utilities should use primary quantity and secondary quantities from the Db2 catalog as the values for the new data set

If the object is not Db2-managed or if the PQTY value is less than the high-used RBA for the data set, BMC AMI Utilities use the high-allocated value.

KEEPDB2

Specifies that BMC AMI Utilities should use values from the (PQTY) Db2 catalog for the primary quantity of the new data set

This keyword is different from +ALLO(DB2) in that +ALLO(DB2) is a conditional switch, whereas the KEEPDB2 parameter forces BMC AMI Utilities to use the Db2 values. If the data set is user-managed, BMC AMI Utilities use the values in use for primary quantity as it is defined to AMS for the new data set. If a value of -1 is set for any object in the catalog for either PRIQTY or SECQTY, BMC AMI Utilities correctly keep the Db2 primary and secondary allocations.

MXIG

Has a similar meaning to the MVS JCL SPACE parameter

MXIG requests that space allocated to the data set be the smaller of the PQTY needed or the space available on the volume. This parameter affects only primary space allocation. Secondary extents should be available when you use this parameter.

REUSE

Specifies that BMC AMI Utilities should write the newly loaded data set over the original data set

+ALLO(REUSE) can be honored only if the VSAM cluster has the REUSE attribute and the existing size is at least large enough for the data set to be loaded.
