Considerations

Note the following considerations about the SPACE option:

  • When you use DIRECT NO, you must specify both the primary and secondary SPACE quantities.
  • When unloading LOB or XML data to PDS or PDSE referenced data sets, you must specify this option to tell UNLOAD PLUS how to allocate your data sets. If you are allocating a data set for each partition, UNLOAD PLUS uses the specified quantity for each data set. UNLOAD PLUS ignores this option for HFS referenced files.

Specifying the default

You can specify the default for the allocation unit portion of the SPACE command option in your installation options module by using the SPACE installation option. UNLOAD PLUS was shipped with a default value of CYL for this option. The command option overrides the default that is in the installation options module.
