Notes:

  • This command overrides any other previous service requests (DAL, JAL, JECL, or a command) and applies to all the data sets needed by the job.
  • Repossession requested by CLAIM(R) service will not take effect for either relative GDG's (for example BASES(-1)) or GDG BASE data sets.
  • If the job is in an initiator with service CLAIM(R) then you are not allowed to modify its service.
