MVS Data Set Attributes

Use this panel to specify the target volumes, the unit type and the unit count for newly created data sets. If creating data sets on a tape, the volume count parameter can also be set.

All settings are available both when defining FTP clients and FTP servers. The settings are applicable to FTP clients when creating data sets on the client's system. The settings are applicable to FTP servers when creating data sets on the server's system.

If you specify an SMS storage class on the first wizard panel, then the settings from this panel are not used, rather the values are obtained from the storage class.

Steps

  1. Add the volume IDs to the list of volumes and place them in your preferred order. If you do not add any volumes to the list, the system default volumes are used.
  2. If creating data sets on tape, you may want to enter a value for the Volume count.
  3. Specify whether to use the system default for unit type or enter the unit type name.
  4. Specify whether to use the system default for unit count or enter a value for the unit count.

You have completed this panel after adding your preferred volumes, optionally modifying the volume count value, specifying the unit type, and specifying the unit count.
