LOADPLUS DD statements

This topic provides specification guidelines, allocation information, and usage notes for each of the data sets that LOADPLUS uses.

LOADPLUS uses data sets that are specified by ddnames.

Use the following table to quickly find the data set for which you want more information. This table also provides a quick reference to associated command and installation options for each data set type.

¹ For a DSNUTILB load, LOADPLUS uses these options only to pass a value for the &DDNAME variable of the data set name pattern.

² Available only if you have installed PTF BQU1423.

³ Available only if you have installed PTF BQU2133.

⁴ Available only if you have installed PTF BQU2519.

Dynamically allocate data sets

As an alternative to specifying data sets in the DD statements of your JCL, you can have LOADPLUS dynamically allocate the following types of data sets by using the appropriate keyword found in the DDTYPE column above:

SYSREC
Copy data sets
SORTOUT
SORTWK
SYSDISC
SYSERR
SYSMAP
SYSUT1

For details about dynamically allocating SYSREC data sets, see INDSN. For details about dynamically allocating the other data sets, see Dynamic-data-set-allocation and Dynamic-allocation-options.
