NON-VSAM DATA field
The values of the NON-VSAM DATA field specify the storage management properties for non-VSAM data. Specifically, the NON-VSAM DATA field applies to the prefix.DBRMLIB.DATA, prefix.RUNLIB.LOAD, and prefix.SRCLIB.DATA data sets.
| Column | VOL/SER | DATA CLASS | MGMT CLASS | STOR CLASS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acceptable values: | Blank or a valid z/OS® volume serial number | Blank or a valid SMS data class name | Blank or a valid SMS management class name | Blank or a valid SMS storage class name |
| Default: | Blank | Blank | Blank | Blank |
| Update: | None | None | None | None |
| DSNZPxxx: | None | None | None | None |
A blank value in a column directs the CLIST to remove the corresponding storage-management-related parameters from all JCL, AMS, ALLOC, and DDL statements that are used to create data sets and storage groups that are associated with the field. A non-blank value is used by the CLIST to customize the corresponding storage-management-related parameters in all JCL, AMS, ALLOC, and DDL statements that are used to create data sets and storage groups that are associated with the field.
Recommendation: To help performance and recovery, avoid dependency on
a single storage device by using an SMS scheme that uses more than one volume serial number.
