Parameter type: Keyword, optional — use this parameter only with SMS

Without SMS, see the AMP parameter described in AMP parameter.

Purpose: Use the RECORG parameter to specify the organization of the records in a new VSAM data set.

Code the RECORG parameter when you want to (1) specify the record organization for the data set or (2) override the record organization defined in the data class of the data set.

If SMS is not installed or is not active, the system syntax checks and then ignores the RECORG parameter.
