SET_REUSE

(VSAM data sets only.) The SET_REUSE keyword specifies whether the VSAM REUSE or NOREUSE option should be specified.

Syntax

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramSET_REUSE=YESNO$DCOC$DCOU

SET_REUSE=YES|NO|$DCOC|$DCOU

Note: For this VSAM option, the ISMF Data Class Define panel always requires a value of Y or N. Therefore, because a value is always defined, the $DCOC option acts the same as the $DCOU option.

Operands

YES
REUSE should be specified.
NO
NOREUSE should be specified.
