Specifying ACIF processing parameters

You can process the ACIF parameters that are needed to produce the telephone bill by Creating and specifying a parameter file.

z/OS parameter file

The JCL for a z/OS® parameter file is shown in Figure 1. This example creates a sequential data set; however, if you need a partitioned data set, change the parameters as follows:
  • Set RESFILE=PDS.
  • Set the SPACE and DSORG parameters in the DD statement of the data set named by the RESOBJDD parameter to SPACE=(12288,(150,15,15)),DSORG=PO.
Failure to set these parameters as described might produce a RESOBJDD data set that is unusable.
