Elements Description
Type The valid value can be Tracks, Cylinders, Megabytes, and Kilobytes.
Note: The default is Kilobytes with zero Primary and zero Secondary space. This default configuration picks up the size of the file sent to the z/OS system and allocates the appropriate space.
Primary Used by the z/OS partner when creating datasets as the initial number of units of TRACKS, CYLINDERS, and so on to allocate.
Secondary Used by the z/OS partner when creating datasets as the next number of units of TRACKS, CYLINDERS, and so on to allocate once the initial space in the dataset has been exhausted.
