SYSUT1, SYSUT2, and SYSUT3

ddname
SYSUT1, SYSUT2, and SYSUT3.
Use
These are scratch data sets for SMP/E and the utilities it calls. They can be used instead of the following data sets when certain utilities are called:
  • SYSIN
    • For invocations of the copy utility
    • For some invocations of update utility
    • For some invocations of the x37 RETRY COMPRESS utility
  • SYSLIN for invocations of the link-edit utility
  • SYSUT2 for invocations of the assembler utility
SYSUT1 and SYSUT2 are also used by the GIMDTS service routine:
  • SYSUT1 points to the data set containing the input in its original format.
  • SYSUT2 points to the data set containing the transformed output.
Attributes
Sequential; DISP=(NEW,DELETE)
Device
Direct access only.
Note:
  1. BLKSIZE must not exceed 32760.
  2. Do not specify BLKSIZE=0. SMP/E does not support system-determined block size (SDB) for this data set.
  3. If the BLKSIZE value is omitted or invalid, SMP/E uses a default of 3200.
  4. When processing partitioned data sets, GIMUNZIP dynamically allocates SYSUT1 as a large format sequential data set (DSNTYPE=LARGE).
