DDTYPE
The DDTYPE option tells LOADPLUS to dynamically allocate one or more types of data sets or to override an active dynamic allocation value in your installation options.
Additional options in the DD type block provide control for various aspects of the dynamic allocation process. You can repeat this DD type block for more than one data set type. The following table lists the keywords that you can specify for the data set types that you want to allocate dynamically:
Keyword | Description |
|---|---|
LOAD | Load data files (SORTOUT) |
WORK | Index work files (SYSUT1) |
SORTWORK | Sort work files (SORTWK) |
DISCARD | Discard file (SYSDISC) |
ERROR | Error file (SYSERR) |
SYSMAP | Error mapping file (SYSMAP) for DSNUTILB jobs |
LOCPFCPY | Local primary copy data set (BMCCPY) |
LOCBFCPY | Local backup copy data set (BMCCPZ) |
REMPFCPY | Remote primary copy data set (BMCRCY). |
REMBFCPY | Remote backup copy data set (BMCRCZ). |
LOCPLCPY | Local primary LOB copy data set (LLPnnnnn) |
LOCBLCPY | Local backup LOB copy data set (LLBnnnnn) |
REMPLCPY | Remote primary LOB copy data set (LRPnnnnn) |
REMBLCPY | Remote backup LOB copy data set (LRBnnnnn) |
LOCPXCPY | Local primary XML copy data set (XLPnnnnn) |
LOCBXCPY | Local backup XML copy data set (XLBnnnnn) |
REMPXCPY | Remote primary XML copy data set (XRPnnnnn) |
REMBXCPY | Remote backup XML copy data set (XRBnnnnn) |
Specifying the default
You can also specify the data set type in your installation options module by using the DDTYPE installation option. Any dynamic data set allocation options that you specify with the DDTYPE command option override the defaults that are in the installation options module for the same DDTYPE.
