Explanation
OUTDATASET and SYSOUT are mutually exclusive, optional parameters
specifying the output location for the listing produced while running
the EXPIREBV command with the DISPLAY option.
- OUTDATASET
- Directs output to a data set.
If the data set does not exist,
DFSMShsm dynamically allocates and catalogs an output data set with
the following characteristics:
- Data set name specified (dsname)
- Record format of fixed-blocked with ANSI control characters (FBA)
- Logical record length of 121
- Data set is system reblockable
- Primary allocation of 20 tracks (see note)
- Secondary allocation of 50 tracks (see note)
- Unit of SYSALLDA (see note)
If the data set already exists, DFSMShsm will use the
data set. The data set must have the following characteristics:
- The data set must be cataloged and on DASD.
- The data set record format must be FBA and the logical record
length must be 121.
- The data set is system reblockable.
- The user can choose the primary space allocation.
- If DFSMShsm needs additional extents after the primary space allocation,
DFSMShsm uses a secondary space allocation of 50 tracks. (see note)
- If the data set does not contain data, DFSMShsm starts writing
output data at the beginning of the data set.
- If the data set contains data, DFSMShsm writes the output data
after the existing data.
- dsname
- Name of the data set to which DFSMShsm writes the output data.
For dsname, substitute the fully qualified name of the data
set that receives the EXPIREBV output.
- SYSOUT
- Directs output to a specified output class. This is the default.
- class
- Alphanumeric character representing the output class. The default
class is A, unless otherwise specified by the SETSYS command.
Defaults
The default is SYSOUT, and the default for class is the
value specified with the SETSYS command. If you do not use the SYSOUT
parameter of the SETSYS command to specify the output location, the
default is class A.
Usage notes: - These parameters do not apply when the EXECUTE option is specified.
If either of these parameters is entered when it does not apply, it
is ignored.
- If you select the OUTDATASET option, you can use the PATCH command
to change the unit name, primary allocation, and secondary allocation.
If you select the SYSOUT option, you can use the PATCH command to
change whether, and how, DFSMShsm limits the lines of SYSOUT output.
Refer to the z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide for a list of the
available PATCH commands.
