Allocating non-VSAM data sets

This section describes the physical sequential (PS) and partitioned (PDS) data sets. HCL Workload Automation for Z non-VSAM data sets shows the non-VSAM data sets and their characteristics. Before you allocate the non-VSAM data sets, review the following sections, which contain important information about each of these data sets.

For all the sequential data sets listed below, the current version of HCL Workload Automation for Z supports DSNTYPE LARGE, which allows allocation of sequential data sets larger than 65535 tracks.

You can allocate these non-VSAM data sets by using the samples listed in HCL Workload Automation for Z non-VSAM data sets, which are generated by the EQQJOBS installation aid.

Note: The data sets cannot be defined as compressed SMS data sets. If you have not customized the members, as described in Step 9. Allocating data sets, you can allocate a partitioned data set by running a job like the following example. In this example, a started-task-submit data set (EQQSTC) is allocated.

To allocate an HCL Workload Automation for Z sequential data set, you can run a job like the following example. In this example, an event data set (EQQEVDS) is allocated. The IEBGENER utility ensures that the allocated data set has an end-of-file marker in it.
Note: If you allocate HCL Workload Automation for Z data sets using your own jobs, ensure that they have an end-of-file marker in them.
