ICSPACE
The ICSPACE keyword is optional on the GLBL, GROUP, IC, and AIC commands.
This keyword is available in ICPSYSIN; it is also available in global and database-specific options modules. The following table describes the keyword.
Output image copy space allocation keyword
To do this | Specify this in ICPSYSSIN |
|---|---|
Specify the amount of DASD space to allocate for a new non-SMS data set or to override the space allocation defined in the DATACLAS (data class) for an SMS data set. | ICSPACE(units,pri,sec) ICSPACE(units,pri) |
Use DATACLAS defaults for SMS data sets; use MVS defaults for non-SMS data sets. | ICSPACE( ) |
Internal default: ICSPACE( ) | |
Set the values for the ICSPACE keyword as shown in the following table.
ICSPACE values
Value | Description |
|---|---|
unit | Specify the unit to use for allocating the output space. You can set the value to cylinders (C or CYL), tracks (T or TRK), or a number (1-65535). If you specify a number, its meaning is defined by the ICAVGREC keyword. If you specify U, K, or M and SMS is active, unit is interpreted as the average record length. Otherwise, unit is interpreted as the average block size. |
,pri | Specify the number (1-16777215) of primary units to allocate. |
,,sec | Specify the number (0-16777215) of secondary units to allocate. |
blank | Use DATACLAS defaults for SMS data sets; use MVS defaults for non-SMS data sets. |
