Manually allocating partitioned data sets (PDS's) on MVS

You can use a terminal emulator program and ISPF to manually allocate partitioned data sets (PDS's) on MVS™ to hold the output files created by the Generate Runtime Code wizard.
Important: Alternatively, you can easily allocate PDS's with the Remote Systems view (see Step B3. (Optional) Create a connection to the remote z/OS system using the Remote Systems view).
Important: The following topics elsewhere in the online help provide useful information about creating PDS's to hold the output files created by the Generate Run Time Code wizard:
To manually allocate PDS's follow these steps:
  1. Start a terminal emulator program such as the host editor (see Working with host connections).

  2. Connect to the remote z/OS system and log on to TSO.

  3. Start the ISPF application if it is not already started.

  4. Type 3 (Utilities) + Enter. The Utility Selection Panel opens.

  5. Type 2 (Data Set) + Enter. The Data Set Utility panel opens.

  6. Allocate the three PDS's:
    1. On the Data Set Utility screen:
      Field: Sample value:
      Project Project name. You can use your service flow project name, for example: PRJ024
      Group Group name. You can use your flow name, for example FLOW001
      Type Type name. Use:
      1. COBOL for the COBOL source file PDS
      2. COPY for the COBOL copy book PDS
      3. JCL for the JCL PDS
        Data set name. The wizard suggests the following default names:
      1. SRCLIB for the COBOL source file PDS
      2. COPYLIB for the COBOL copy book PDS
      3. JCL for the JCL PDS
      Volume serial Leave blank
      Data set password Leave blank
      Option A
    2. On the Allocate New Data Set screen:
      Field: Sample value:
      Management class Leave blank.
      Storage class Leave blank.
      Volume serial Leave blank.
      Device type Leave blank.
      Data class Leave blank.
      Space units BYTES
      Average record unit Leave blank.
      Primary quantity 1
      Secondary quantity 1
      Directory blocks 0
      Record format FB
      Record length 80
      Block size Leave blank.
      Data set name type LIBRARY
