allocate an SCDS.
Perform the following steps to define storage
groups.

or alter the storage groups for the active configuration.
- Storage Group Name

name. ISMF primes the Storage Group
Name field with the name last used within ISMF. The default is an
asterisk, *, which represents all storage groups in the specified
control data set name.
