Required Parameters

OUTDATASET(entryname)

identifies the target data set. You must use a physical sequential data set with a record format of V or VB. Use an LRECL that is at least the size of the longest DCOLLECT record to be collected. Changes to the JCL are not necessary if you use an LRECL larger than the longest record to be collected. The LRECL should be at least as large as the longest record DCOLLECT generates but not larger than 32756. A mid-range value is appropriate.

If you use OUTDATASET, the entryname is dynamically allocated with a status of either OLD or MOD, as required by the REPLACE parameter.
