SMS

The SMS specifies whether to pass the SMS classes and extended data set types (EXTREQ and EXTPREF) to SMS during dynamic allocation.

Whether the utility actually performs an SMS allocation depends on your site.

Specifying the default

You can specify the default for the SMS command option in your installation options module by using the SMS installation option. The utility was shipped with a default value of NO for this option. The command option overrides the default that is in the installation options module.

YES

YES passes SMS classes and extended data set types during dynamic allocation. The following considerations apply to SMS YES:

  • When you specify SMS YES, the utility ignores the value that you specify for MAXEXTSZ.
  • To pass the UNIT value to SMS during dynamic allocation, also specify the SMSUNIT option.
  • When invoking DSNUTILB, the utility includes the SMS classes in the TEMPLATE control statement that it builds for the IBM utility.

NO

NO does not pass SMS classes and extended data set types during dynamic allocation. When you specify SMS NO, the utility always passes the UNIT value during dynamic allocation.
