DATASET statement overview

The DATASET statement defines the physical characteristics of the data sets to be used for the database.

At least one DATASET statement is required for each data set group in the database. Depending on the type of database, up to 10 data set groups can be defined. Each DATASET statement is followed by the SEGM statements for all segments to be placed in that data set group.

The DATASET statement is not allowed for HALDB databases. Use either the HALDB Partition Definition utility to define HALDB partitions or the DBRC commands INIT.DB and INIT.PART

If the database is a DEDB, the AREA statement is used instead of the DATASET statement.
