DALDSNT specifies the type attribute of a data set as PDS, PDSE,
HFS data set, OpenMVS first-in-first-out (FIFO) special file, extended
format, basic, or large.
When you code DALDSNT, # and LEN must be 1; PARM must contain one
of the following:
- X'80'
- Represents a library (PDSE).
- X'40'
- Represents a partitioned data set (PDS).
- X'20'
- Represents a FIFO special file (PIPE).
- X'10'
- Represents an HFS data set (HFS). This type of UNIX file system is different from a z/OS® File System (zFS) that resides
in a linear data set.
- X'08'
- Represents an extended format required data set (EXTREQ).
- X'04'
- Represents an extended format preferred data set (EXTPREF).
- X'02'
- Represents a basic format data set (BASIC).
- X'01'
- Represents a large format data set (LARGE = greater than 65,535
tracks).
Example:: To specify a PDS data set, code
KEY # LEN PARM
