ICALLOC
The ICALLOC 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 Dynamically allocate output image copy keyword.
To do this | Specify this in ICPSYSSIN |
|---|---|
Dynamically allocate the output image copy data sets if a DD statement is not included in the JCL. Dynamically deallocate the output data set when processing is complete. | ICALLOC(Y) |
Use JCL to allocate the output image copy data sets. The data sets are deallocated when the job step terminates. | ICALLOC(N) |
Internal default: ICALLOC(N) | |
ICALLOC(N) is ignored when specified with IC(*), which forces dynamic allocation of the output image copy data set. ICALLOC(N) specified with IC(ddname) causes an abend if you do not include a DD statement in the JCL. For more information, see IC.
