Parameter in IEASYSxx

The SMS parameter in IEASYSxx identifies the IGDSMSxx member from which the storage management subsystem (SMS) will obtain its options when the system is initialized for partitioned data set extended (PDSE) support, as follows:

SMS {xx}
The two alphanumeric characters, xx, are appended to IGDSMS to name the member. The nucleus initialization program (NIP) saves the name until SMS is initialized. If initialization of the PDSE fails, the IGDSMSxx PARMLIB member is selected from the IEFSSNxx PARMLIB member, using the ID=xx keyword.
