data set-name must be fully qualified and cannot be a temporary data set, for example, it must not start with &.

Specify the HFS file as follows:

PATH (absolute-path-name)

The following attribute can be specified in any order after the DSN keyword:

NEW, OLD, SHR, or MOD
TRACKS or CYL
SPACE(n,m)
VOL(volser)
UNIT(type)
KEEP, DELETE, CATALOG, or UNCATALOG
STORCLAS(storageclass)
MGMTCLAS(managementclass)
