Creating a discrete profile for a VSAM data set

To create a discrete profile for a VSAM data set, you can use the VSAM cluster name on the ADDSD command.

For example, SMITH has created a VSAM cluster using the following command:

DEFINE CLUSTER(NAME('SMITH.SAMPLE') VOLUMES(VSAM02) ) +
  INDEX(NAME('SMITH.SAMPLEI') TRACKS(1 1) ) +
  DATA(NAME('SMITH.SAMPLED') CYLINDERS(1 1) KEYS(128 0) +
  CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(X'1000') )

SMITH can protect this cluster with a profile named 'SMITH.SAMPLE', as follows:

ADDSD 'SMITH.SAMPLE' UACC(NONE) NOTIFY
