Syntax

  • CASPACE(u,n,n)—for type, primary, and secondary allocation
  • CASPACE(u,n)—for type and primary allocation
  • CASPACE( )

Values

Select from the following:

u

1-8 alphanumeric characters. The unit to use for allocating the output space. Cylinders (C or CYL), tracks (T or TRK), or a number (1-65535).

If you specify a number, its meaning is defined by the CAAVGREC keyword. If you specify U, K, or M and SMS is active, the Change Accumulation utility interprets u as the average record length. Otherwise, it interprets u as the average block length.

, n

Numeric (1-16777215). The number of primary units to allocate.

,, n

Numeric (1-16777215). The number of secondary units to allocate.

( )

Blank. Use DATACLAS defaults for SMS data sets; use operating system defaults for non-SMS data sets.
