NOTCAT2_DYNAL

In some cases, NOTCAT2 failures for dynamic allocations are intercepted and processed by the calling program (for example, TSO). However, some applications do not automatically handle such situations and for which NOTCAT2 processing might be beneficial. In these cases, you can use the NOTCAT2_DYNAL function to selectively enable, or disable, processing of dynamically allocated data sets.

Operands

ENABLE
Allow NOTCAT2 processing for dynamically allocated data sets.
DISABLE
Bypass NOTCAT2 processing for dynamically allocated data sets.

Usage and processing considerations

Advanced Allocation Management does not automatically handle NOTCAT2 for dynamically allocated data sets. The default for the NOTCAT2_DYNAL keyword is DISABLE. Without knowledge of the specific actions that are performed by a calling program, unexpected problems might occur.
