In the above example, member SECDUMMY in dataset PRODHLQ.CAKOJCL0

would contain the input parameters:

CREATE SECURITY                                                        
ACCESSORS=?????                                                        
VOLUMES=?????                                                          
BLOCKSIZE=8192

SDTBLOCKS=?????      <----OPTIONAL

ID=DUMMY 

(Substitute the values to be used for the question marks in ACCESSORS, VOLUMES, RESBLOCKS, SDTBLOCKS, and PIEBLOCKS. Also, if not using a block size of 8192, specify the block size to be used. The block size must be a multiple of 256 and a minimum of 8192.)
