GIMDDALC control statements

SMPPARM member GIMDDALC is used to specify data sets that are to be dynamically allocated by SMP/E. The following types of data sets may be specified in GIMDDALC:

Data sets to be allocated to a SYSOUT class (or to the terminal for foreground execution)
Data sets to be allocated as temporary data sets
SMPTLIB data sets

During any attempt to allocate a data set, SMP/E first looks for a DD statement specified in the job. If no DD statement was specified, SMP/E then looks for a DDDEF entry in the zone. If no DDDEF entry was found, SMP/E then checks to see if there is an SMPPARM data set. If so, and there is a GIMDDALC member within it, SMP/E looks for a GIMDDALC control statement for the corresponding ddname.
