Creating a sequential or partitioned data set in an MVS subproject

Before you begin

You must first be connected to a remote system.

About this task

To create a new sequential or partitioned data set in an MVS™ subproject, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. In the z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects view, navigate to the MVS subproject in which you want to create the new data set.
  2. Select New > Allocate Sequential Data Set or New > Allocate Partitioned Data Set. The New Data Set window opens, prompting you for the data set name and characteristics.
  3. To allocate the data set with default characteristics, type the new data set name and click Finish. When you allocate data sets or create partitioned data set members from within an MVS subproject, the names are validated against z/OS® naming rules to avoid spending the time that would be necessary to process allocation errors on z/OS. (The same type of validation is done for actions you perform in the Remote Systems view.) The new member name is displayed in the window.
  4. To set specific data set characteristics, type a data set name and click Next to advance to the next wizard page. For help completing the fields in the New Data Set wizard, click the help icon.
