CIDF—Control Interval Definition Field z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets SC23-6855-00 |
|||||||||||||
The CIDF is a 4-byte field that contains two 2-byte binary numbers.
In an entry-sequenced data set, when there are unused control intervals beyond the last one that contains data, the first of the unused control intervals contains a CIDF filled with 0s. In a key-sequenced data set or an RRDS, the first control interval in the first unused control area (if any) contains a CIDF filled with 0s. A CIDF filled with 0s represents the software end-of-file. |
