Syntax

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramSTORGRP=(,storgrpuser_var$NULL,op)

STORGRP=(storgrp|user_var|$NULL, storgrp|user_var|$NULL,…,op)

Where:

storgrp is a 1 - 8 character string that specifies the SMS storage group. Wildcard characters are permitted.

Note: With SMS, it is possible to define more than one eligible storage group for a new data set allocation. In this situation, if the Advanced Allocation Management STORGRP filter parameter is used, the specified storage group name is checked against all eligible storage groups for the allocation. If the specified name matches any of the eligible storage groups, then Advanced Allocation Management considers that portion of the rule definition to be a match. After a specific storage group is assigned to the data set, only that assigned storage group is checked against the storage group name that is specified by the STORGRP filter parameter.

Default

None.

Environments

ACS, ALLOCATE, EXTEND, UNALLOCATE, STOW, and CATCHECK.

Note: During ACS processing, the value that is used is the value that is assigned by the user or the system before Advanced Allocation Management processing. In the other environments, the value that is used is the value that is assigned by Advanced Allocation Management (if specified) otherwise, it is the value that is assigned by the user or by the system.
