The DFP segment in group profiles

You can define a DFP segment for group profiles. The DFP segment contains default values that DFP uses to determine data management and DASD storage characteristics for SMS-managed data sets. You can specify the following information in this segment:

DATAAPPL: Group's DFP data application identifier
DATACLAS: Group's default data class for attributes used during allocation of all new data sets
MGMTCLAS: Group's default management class for attributes used in managing a data set after it is allocated
STORCLAS: Group's default storage class for logical storage attributes

To define or change information in the DFP segment of a group profile, you must have the SPECIAL attribute or at least UPDATE authority to the segment by way of field-level access control. To display information in the DFP segment of a group profile, you must have the SPECIAL attribute or at least READ authority to the segment by way of field-level access control.
