  Chapter 10. Allocating data sets dynamically
    Output image copy data sets
      Using stacked image copy data set
         :
    When stacking is requested by the STACK keyword, the IMS HP
    Image Copy functions function groups the output image copy
    data sets with the ddname specified in the STACK keyword. The
    grouped output image copy data sets are written into the same
    tape volume or set of tape volumes identified with the stacked
    data set.
  
    Output stacked image copy data sets are always allocated
  | dynamically even if ICDALLOC=N parameter is specified.
  
    IMS HP Image Copy uses a stacked data set to identify each
    stack.
