Data set/path name
Can be a fully-qualified data set name or a pattern, an z/FS file or directory, a WebSphere® MQ queue name, or a CICS® resource.

For information about specifying a WebSphere® MQ queue name, see Specifying an MQ manager or queue.

For information about specifying a CICS® resource, see Specifying a CICS resource.

The data set name may include a member name or name pattern in parenthesis. If the member is specified here, the associated Member field must be empty.

When you specify an z/FS file or directory, you must enter a full path name. If the path name is longer than the displayed entry field, press the Expand function key (F4) to display a pop-up window in which you can enter a longer name.

The Allocation Options are only required when the "To" data set does not exist.

The Binary mode and reclen parameters are only relevant for an z/FS file.
