Can anyone tell me, how can I create a PDS using JCL? I know there are lots of other ways to create a PDS. But if I want to create it using JCL, Iam unable to do this. I tried this using IEFBR14 utility. Using this Iam able to create a PS but for PDS it is throwing an error. Please suggest one solution for this.

What JCL did you use in your IEFBR14 step?

Well, as IEFBR14 does not do anything but start and end you do not need

Well, maybe slight off-topic but I use this job to create/populate a PDS/E:

Hi NIC,

Iam getting the following error.

IEF344I DGZRZR01 STEP001 SYSUT2 - ALLOCATION FAILED DUE TO DATA FACILITY SYSTEM ERROR
IGD17293I DATA SET PROD01.ACT.VAL.SZS1.COPY HAS
PARTITIONED ORGANIZATION AND IS NOT ELIGIBLE
TO BE A MULTI-VOLUME DATA SET, ALLOCATION FAILED
IEF272I DGZRZR01 STEP001 - STEP WAS NOT EXECUTED.

Another thing is Iam free for a while, so Iam trying the things in different ways.

The Job given by superk was also not working in my site. Iam getting the following error.

READY
ALLOC DA('PROD01.ACT.VAL.SZS1.COPY') NEW REU CAT UNI(SYSALLDA) SPA(45,15) TRA DIR(40) REC(F B) LREC(80)
IKJ56893I DATA SET PROD01.ACT.VAL.SZS1.COPY NOT ALLOCATED+
IGD17293I DATA SET PROD01.ACT.VAL.SZS1.COPY HAS
PARTITIONED ORGANIZATION AND IS NOT ELIGIBLE
TO BE A MULTI-VOLUME DATA SET, ALLOCATION FAILED
READY
READY
END

When I submit dr te Z's job, I got the same error as above. I think data base is not allowing me to create PDS.

Try a different name. It may be that the ACS routines of SMS are adding characteristics (like multivol stuff) based on the name. Otherwise, ask the system programmers why it is trying to assign multiple volumes.

Thanks Semi. I will try it out.

Hi ugsrinadh,

You might try UNIT=SYSDA. SYS"ALL"DA seems to smack of multi vols.

SYSALLDA is the only unit guaranteed to be on the system. SYSDA is a common convention, but not on all systems.

Sounds to me that your storage guys are a little lacking in their ACS routines bonk

It is oh so simple to determine the DSORG of a dataset in the routines, minimal effort required.

I just solved a similar problem here. Try adding DATACLAS=DEFAULT, to override the ACS routines.
