Allocating a data set z/OS TSO/E Primer SA32-0984-00 |

When you create a file in your personal filing system, you get a folder, label it, and put it in a particular place in the file cabinet. Until you put items in the folder, it is empty. On a computer system, we talk of allocating a data set when we create one because we allocate or allot space for data on a storage device. You allocate the space first and later put something into that space. |
