PDSSTAT (MPS)
The PDSSTAT parameter maintains PDS member statistics when updating partitioned data sets. It maintains only standard PDF directory entries. The parameter is valid only with the UPDATE function.
The syntax of the PDSSTAT parameter is:
PDSSTAT=x
x
Valid values for the x parameter are:
Y | Update PDS statistics if they exist |
N | Do not update PDS statistics |
A | Update PDS statistics if they exist, or add statistics if they do not exist. |
Example:
UPDATE MEMBER=EMPLOYEE,PDSSTAT=A,EDIT=(1,0,C’ABC’,C’XYZ’)
In this example, File-AID updates existing statistics or adds new statistics for the member EMPLOYEE.
