Issue/Introduction

Created jcl to run a DBHOT backup and also a DBSPILL. What would the DCB info be to dump the files to disk? 

Resolution

There is no need to specify DCB information for the RXX file or backup files when they are allocated on Disk. DBUTLTY will internally handle the DCB from the CXX/Directory. DBUTLTY will also override any DCB parameters that were specified on the allocation. Browse the dataset after allocation to view DCB information.
