Allocating a data set like another z/OS TSO/E Primer SA32-0984-00 |
|||
The ALLOCATE command has a very complex syntax because of the many
data set attributes you can specify. Instead of learning the complex
syntax, you can take a shortcut and allocate a data set like an existing
one. Thus you can create a data set named PREFIX.NEWTEST.DATA with
the same attributes as the one named PREFIX.TEST.DATA by entering
after the READY message:
Notice that we didn't include the word prefix as the first qualifier. TSO/E
assumes your prefix, sometimes your user ID, as the first qualifier
unless the data set is placed within single quotation marks. The
following is also correct:
Your prefix is typically assigned by an administrator and appears in your user profile. For more information about prefixes and user profiles, see Displaying a user profile. For more information about the ALLOCATE command and its other functions, see z/OS TSO/E User's Guide.
