Important

The value displayed in the Volume serial field will not be the same value shown in this example. The value you see is unique to your installation and is the same as the model data set (FASAMP.EMPLOYEE).

More about VSAM allocation

  • Use an OWNER ID of $IAM to identify the data set as an IAM data set.
  • For variable length records, "Maximum Recordsize" must be larger than "Average Recordsize", but not larger than the "Data C/I size".
