IC keyword


Use the IC keyword to identify one or more output image copy data sets to be produced by the function.

Uses

Optional on the following control statements:

  • GROUP
  • IC and AIC (Either IC or STKIC is required unless specified on the GROUP control statement.)
  • OIC and AOIC (Either IC or STKIC is required unless specified on the GROUP control statement.)
  • CIC and ACIC (Either IC or STKIC is required unless specified on the GROUP control statement.)
  • IIC and AIIC (Either IC or STKIC is required unless specified on the GROUP control statement.)
  • REC and AREC

Related keywords

If you include the IC keyword, do not include the STKIC keyword.

Syntax

IC(value1,...,value10)

If you are specifying the use of dynamic allocation models, enclose each set of values in parentheses, as shown in the following example:

IC((*,MODEL1),(*,MODEL2),(*,MODEL3))

Values

Specify one of the following values for each output image copy data set that you want the utility to produce. You can specify a series of up to 10 values, separated with commas.

  • ddname —The ddname (1-8 alphanumeric characters) for the output image copy data set as it is specified in the JCL. One copy of the output image copy data set is written to each ddname listed. This value is not valid on the GROUP control statement.
  • *—Dynamically allocate the output image copy data set. ICALLOC(Y) is forced.
  • (*,modelname)—Dynamically allocate the output image copy data set by using the specified dynamic allocation model. ICALLOC(Y) is forced. If you specify a model for one output data set, you must specify a model for all output data sets. For more information, see Using-dynamic-allocation-models.

If you specify any dynamic allocation models for a control statement keyword, all specifications on that keyword must use models. For example, the specification IC(*,(*,modelname)) is invalid.

Default

None
