The following example shows the ALLOCATE command used with the DSNTYPE keyword to create a PDSE. DSNTYPE(LIBRARY) indicates the data set being allocated is a PDSE.

   //ALLOC    EXEC  PGM=IDCAMS,DYNAMNBR=1
   //SYSPRINT DD    SYSOUT=A
   //SYSIN    DD    *
              ALLOC -
                 DSNAME(XMP.ALLOCATE.EXAMPLE1) -
                 NEW -
                 STORCLAS(SC06) -
                 MGMTCLAS(MC06) -
                 DSNTYPE(LIBRARY)
