Use this dialog to define how OS/390 should receive an incoming file transfer.
Note: some options apply to file-to-file connectors only; these are noted below.
Dataset Organization (for file-to-file connectors only)
Specifies how the dataset is organized: either PS (physical sequential,
which is the default), PO (partitioned organization), or PE (extended
partitioned organization) Defaults
to PS.
Record Format
Specifies the OS/390 record format: either F (fixed), FB (fixed blocked),
VB (variable blocked), or U (undefined). The value defaults to F if Logical Record Length below is defined,
or to FB if Logical Record Length
and Block Size are defined.
Logical
Record Length
(required if Record Format
above is set to FB or VB) Specifies the length of fixed block records.
Block Size
(required if Record Format above
is set to FB or VB) Specifies the block size for fixed blocked or variable
blocked records.
Unit
(required unless Volume Serial below
is defined) Specifies the OS/390 DASD unit group name in which
the dataset should be allocated (for example, SYSDA).
Volume Serial
(required unless Unit above
is defined) Name of the volume serial to which the dataset should
be allocated.
Primary
Allocation Space
(required) The number of records, tracks, or cylinders to allocate in the
dataset's primary (first) allocation space.
Secondary
Allocation Space
(optional) The number of records, tracks, or cylinders to allocate when
the file requires secondary allocation extensions.
Space Allocation
Unit
The unit used for the primary and secondary allocation space: either: TRKS
(tracks, which is the default) or CYLS (cylinders).
PDS Directory
Blocks (for file-to-file connectors only)
The number of blocks reserved for directory entries (applies only when
Dataset Organization above specifies
PO).
Management
Class
Specifies the management class for an SMS-managed dataset.
Storage
Class
Specifies the storage class for an SMS-managed dataset.
