This is a pointer to a DFSMS Data Control Block. See DFSMS Macro
Instructions for Data Sets.
Note: - In most cases, this will be a DCB opened by the calling application.
It is possible to use a DCB (such as a STEPLIB DCB or the LINKLIB
DCB) opened by the MVS™ system,
but there may be some additional restrictions when this is done. See SB - Starting a session with a BLDL identifier for more information.
- The fast data access service supports all data sets
allocated in the extended addressing space (EAS) of an extended address
volume (EAV).
- The fast data access service supports the following
dynamic allocation (DYNALLOC or SVC 99) options for all data sets:
S99TIOEX(XTIOT), S99ACUCB (NOCAPTURE), and S99DSABA (DSAB above the
line).
