UCOUNT (FTP client and server) statement

Use the UCOUNT statement to set the unit count for new data set allocations.

Server: This setting applies when creating data sets on the server's system.
Client: This setting applies when creating data sets on the client's system.

Syntax


>>-UCOUNT--+------------+--------------------------------------><
           '-unit-count-'

Parameters

unit-count: The unit count to be specified for new data set allocations. Valid values are 1 - 59 (inclusive), or the letter P for parallel mount requests. UCOUNT has no default value. If you do not specify a UCOUNT value, the FTP server does not specify a unit count for new allocations. The unit count used is the system default.

Examples

To specify a unit count of two, use the following code:

UCOUNT 2

To specify parallel mounts, use the following code:

UCOUNT P

Usage notes

The UCOUNT statement should not be used with an SMS storage class. Any UCOUNT value you specify overrides whatever is specified for the SMS managed dataclass being used.
UCOUNT can be dynamically modified using the SITE and LOCSITE commands. See z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands for more information about these commands.
