IGD17045I SPACE NOT SPECIFIED FOR ALLOCATION OF DATA SET

Products

• Allocate DASD Space and Placement

Issue/Introduction

We are migrating a site that use STOPX37 and we are switching to Allocate.

We have a situation that in the JCL of some Jobs, the SPACE card is not informed and in these cases STOPX37 specifies CYL, with a primary of 100 and a secondary of 100.

See the JCL:

//STEP01   EXEC PGM=ICEGENER                               

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                     

//SYSUT1      DD *                                         

 TEST                                                     

//SYSUT2      DD DSN=TEST.ALOC.NOT.SPACE,                 

//            DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA,             

//            DCB=(LRECL=400,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=23200)       

//SYSIN       DD DUMMY   

          

 

We created this logic in Allocate to set the SPACE information:

IF &VAMENVIR = 'ALLOC' THEN           

  DO                                  

   IF &DSN=TESTE.ALOC.NOT.SPACE THEN  

     DO                               

      IF &DSORG = 'PS' THEN           

       DO                             

         SET &SPACTYPE   = 'CYL'      

         SET &PRIMARY    =  100       

         SET &SECONDARY  =  100       

       END                            

     END                              

  END  

 

However, we need to create a logic for any file that does not come with the SPACE parameter, setting CYL with primary 100 and secondary 100. However, files that have SPACE informed in the JCL must be respected.

This is the error message that occurs when the job does not have the space parameter specified:
