Dynamic allocation of image copy data sets

To allocate output image copy data set dynamically, perform the following tasks:

  • Code the IC keyword in the ICPSYSIN data set. As the keyword value, specify one or more ddnames (one for each output image copy you want to generate), or specify one or more asterisks (*), one for each output image copy.
  • Omit the output image copy data set DD statements from the execution JCL.
  • Code ICALLOC(Y) in a valid control statement or options module. If you coded IC(*), you can omit ICALLOC(Y).
  • You can also code the following keywords in a valid control statement or options module to control the dynamic allocation of the output data set.
    • ICAVGREC
    • ICCATF
    • ICDATACL
    • ICDSCB
    • ICEXPDT
    • ICGDG
    • ICLIKE
    • ICMGMTCL
    • ICPREF
    • ICRETPD
    • ICSPACE
    • ICSTORCL
    • ICUNIT
    • ICVOLCNT
    • ICVOLSER
