Table 8 shows how the AFPPARMS data set specified with the AFPPARMS DD name in the startup procedure should be allocated.

Table 8. Allocation of AFPPARMS data set attributes
Attribute	Value	Type	Description
DCB=DSORG=	PO	Required	Data set organization
DSNTYPE=	LIBRARY	Required	Data set defined as PDSE
DCB=RECFM=	`xx`	Required	Any value except "U"
DCB=LRECL=	`nnnn`	Required	Maximum bytes in the record (see Note 1)
DISP=	SHR	Required	Data set can be shared
SPACE=	(CYL,(`nn`,1,10))	Required	Direct access storage device (DASD) cylinders required to process data (see Note 2)
Notes: Any record size is valid; however, use a small record size, such as `DCB=LRECL=120`, to conserve DASD space. Space requirements are dependent on the type of DASD that is used and on the number of FSAs that are specified in the startup procedure.
