Hi :

The following code is for define PDS OR SEQUIENCE ?

//NEWDS DD DSN=HERC04.OUTPUT.CLIENT,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=3390,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=8000)

What is for define others ?

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,
I do not get your question fully.If you are asking how to differentiate between a PDS and a PS then answer would be NUMBER OF DIRECTORIES you define only for PDS and keyword parameter DSORG=PO. The DD statment you have posted here is for a flat file.ie Physical Sequential Dataset.
Check out this link http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/iea2b631/12.55.2.1?SHELF=&DT=20030423085347&CASE=

By the way you need not code BLKSIZE parameter

Andy, if you read the document that Shiv has pointed you to, you will be able to solve your problem.
