Allocating non-VSAM data sets

This section describes the physical sequential (PS) and partitioned (PDS) data sets. IBM Z Workload Scheduler non-VSAM data sets shows the non-VSAM data sets and their characteristics. Before you allocate the non-VSAM data sets, review the following sections, which contain important information about each of these data sets.

For all the sequential data sets listed below, the current version of IBM Z Workload Scheduler supports DSNTYPE LARGE, which allows allocation of sequential data sets larger than 65535 tracks.

You can allocate these non-VSAM data sets by using the samples listed in IBM Z Workload Scheduler non-VSAM data sets, which are generated by the EQQJOBS installation aid.

Note: The data sets cannot be defined as compressed SMS data sets. If you have not customized the members, as described in Step 9. Allocating data sets, you can allocate a partitioned data set by running a job like the following example. In this example, a started-task-submit data set (EQQSTC) is allocated.

//             UNIT=3390,
//             DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3120)

To allocate an IBM Z Workload Scheduler sequential data set, you can run a job like the following example. In this example, an event data set (EQQEVDS) is allocated. The IEBGENER utility ensures that the allocated data set has an end-of-file marker in it.

Note: If you allocate IBM Z Workload Scheduler data sets using your own jobs, ensure that they have an end-of-file marker in them.
