Example

To specify:

a user-defined data set type - USER01
- with an explicit default record format of variable-length records
- and implicit defaults for all other attributes
a tso-defined data set type - DATA
- with an explicit default block size of 2400
- and implicit defaults for all other attributes
and implicit defaults for all other tso-defined data set types

Code:

EDIT IKJEDIT DSTYPE=(USER01,DATA),BLOCK=(,2400),FORMAT=(FIXED)
