EATTR=

This option specifies whether a data set should support extended attributes

When you create an OUTCOPY-specification and want to force the copy to the cylinder-managed space of an EAV, specify the SPACE keyword.

Valid values for EATTR are as follows:

  • No value—(Default) Allows an SMS DATACLAS to set the EATTR value for so that your environment can use extended attributes. (EATTR= is the same as specifying EATTR=NONE.)

  • OPT—Specifies that extended attributes are optional for the data set.

  • You must set EATTR=OPT to allocate an extended format sequential data set. BMC AMI Recover supports sequential data sets in the cylinder-managed portion of EAVs.

    BMC AMI Recover specifies the EATTR attribute when it dynamically allocates the output data set and overrides the EATTR option in the SMS DATACLAS, if one exists.

    Extended format sequential data sets must be allocated on SMS-managed volumes and the size of the data set must be greater than the EAV breakpoint, which is typically 10 cylinders.

  • NO—The data set cannot have extended attributes.

    BMC AMI Recover specifies the EATTR attribute when it dynamically allocates the output data set and overrides the EATTR option in the SMS DATACLAS, if one exists.

By using the EATTR syntax option in an OUTPUT statement at runtime, you can override the value set during installation.
