STKCA keyword
The STKCA keyword specifies the ddnames of the output change accumulation data sets that will be stacked on one or more tape volumes.
One copy of each output change accumulation data set is written to every ddname listed.
If the DD statement is not present in the JCL, the Change Accumulation utility will dynamically allocate it, if you specify CAALLOC(Y). The DD statement, if provided, is only used for allocation of the tape or cartridge device. The data set names are generated using the CAPREF keyword and/or the CAP$DSN Data Set Name user exit. If any one of the data sets written to the stack exceeds five volumes, the device is deallocated and a new one is reallocated before any remaining data sets are written.
