ICALLOC keyword

Use the ICALLOC keyword to specify how to dynamically allocate output image copies.

It also indicates when to deallocate the output data sets.

Uses

Optional in global and database-specific options module. Optional on the following control statements:

  • GLBL
  • GROUP
  • IC and AIC
  • OIC and AOIC
  • CIC and ACIC
  • IIC and AIIC
  • REC and AREC

Related keywords

Use ICALLOC(Y) in conjunction with the following keywords:

  • ICAVGREC
  • ICCATF
  • ICDATACL
  • ICDSCB
  • ICEXPDT
  • ICGDG
  • ICLIKE
  • ICMGMTCL
  • ICPREF
  • ICRETPD
  • ICSPACE
  • ICSTORCL
  • ICUNIT
  • ICVOLCNT
  • ICVOLSER

Syntax

ICALLOC(value)

Values

Specify one of the following values:

  • Y—If the IC keyword is present, 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.
    If the STKIC keyword is present, dynamically allocate the output tape unit (as specified with the ICUNIT-keyword) if a DD statement is not included in the JCL. Dynamically deallocate the output data set when processing is complete.
    Using this value requires that you also specify the ICPREF keyword or use the Data Set Name user exit. If you use a dynamic allocation model, this keyword is ignored.
  • N—Use JCL to allocate the output image copy data sets. The data sets are deallocated when the job step terminates.
    If IC(*) is specified, dynamic allocation is forced and ICALLOC(N) is ignored.
    ICALLOC(N) specified with IC(ddname) or STKIC(ddname) causes an abend if you do not include a DD statement in the JCL.

Default

ICALLOC(N)
