Ways to define STDENV

z/OS UNIX System Services User's Guide
SA23-2279-00

You can define the STDENV environment variable file in the following ways:

The TSO/E ALLOCATE command
Example: The environment variable definitions reside in the MVS™ sequential data set TURBO.ENV.FILE.
```
ALLOCATE DDN(STDENV) DSN('TURBO.ENV.FILE') SHR
 
```
A JCL DD statement. To identify a z/OS UNIX file, use the PATH operand and specify PATHOPTS=ORDONLY.
Example: The environment variable definitions reside in the z/OS UNIX file u/turbo/env.file.
```
//STDENV DD PATH='u/turbo/env.file',PATHOPTS=ORDONLY
 
```
An JCL in-stream data set
Example: The environment variable definitions immediately follow the STDENV DD statement.
```
//STDENV   DD *
variable1=aaaaaaa
variable2=bbbbbbbb ⋮ 
variable5=ffffffff
/*
```
Trailing blanks are truncated for in-stream data sets, but not for other data sets.
SVC 99 dynamic allocation, if you are running BPXBATCH from a program

For more information about defining STDENV, see the detailed discussion about using BPXBATCH inz/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.
