PROPAGATE.DCB=(NO|YES, NO|YES)

Edit online
PROPAGATE.DCB will be new Initialization Parameter for controlling propagation of DCB parameter
  • 1st sub-parameter - when the DATACLAS is propagated from the source dataset, this parameter determines whether to also propagate the DCB attributes from the source dataset.
    • Value ‘NO’ means the DCB attributes from the source dataset will not be propagated when the source dataset DATACLAS is propagated. It is a default and legacy behavior.
    • Value ‘YES’ means the DCB attributes from the source dataset will be propagated even though the source dataset DATACLAS was propagated as well.
  • 2nd sub-parameter - when the DATACLAS is specified in the COPY TO section (legacy method), this parameter determines whether to also propagate the DCB attributes from the source dataset.
    • Value ‘NO’ means the DCB attributes from the source dataset will not be propagated when a DATACLAS is specified in the COPY TO section. It is a default and legacy behavior.
    • Value ‘YES’ means the DCB attributes from the source dataset will be propagated even when a DATACLAS is specified in the COPY TO section.
Note: This parameter has no effect on the sending side. The sending side always sends the DCB information. When specified on the receiving side, this parameter provides greater specificity in determining when the information is used in a new dataset allocation.

Modifiable through MODIFY INITPARMS command: NO
