Additional Batch Parameters for Library Support

The following two additional batch parameters are added for library support:

  • DATASET_TYPE=LIBRARY

    Informs the receiver of the file that if a data set is to be created, a PDS/E must be created. If this parameter is not set, a PDS is created at the remote end.

  • ALLOC_DIR=number_of_directory_blocks

    Defines the number of directory blocks that will be allocated when a file is created. This parameter overrides the local data set attributes that are sent to the system which creates the data set.
