Stephen Linkin Houston Community College 28-Mar-07 © Mike Murach & Associates, HCC, IBM 1 JCL For VSAM Data Sets

2 Objectives Knowledge objectives Explain why you code only a few DD parameters for an existing VSAM data set. Explain how to delete a VSAM data set without using AMS if SMS is active. Explain what DD statements in a job that executes a COBOL program with alternate indexes to a VSAM file. Explain how using standard JCL (under SMS) instead of AMS to create a VSAM file simplifies volume allocation. Applied objectives Code a DD statement to requirements for a job that processes VSAM files, : a) A llocate an existing VSAM file b) A llocate a DUMMY file when the program expects a VSAM file c) C reate a VSAM file, assuming SMS is active
