Hi,
I tried to create a PDS using LIKE command in JCL
and i got the error

SYS1 DD DSN=AKSDF72.USER.JCL,DISP=SHR
SYS2 DD DSN=AKSDF72.NEW,LIKE=AKSDF72.USER.JCL,
DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)DD

IGD17293I DATA SET L933672.NEW HAS
PARTITIONED ORGANIZATION AND IS NOT ELIGIBLE
TO BE A MULTI-VOLUME DATA SET, ALLOCATION FAILED

In TSO also, i tried using ALLOC DS(xxx) like(/) for the pds, it gave the same error.

Any idea, why is this ?

Thanks

Sorry the error message from joblog is

IGD17293I DATA SET AKSDF72.NEW HAS
PARTITIONED ORGANIZATION AND IS NOT ELIGIBLE
TO BE A MULTI-VOLUME DATA SET, ALLOCATION FAILED

I copied the wrong one ( only ds name change )

Mainframe78,

Can't you run something like this?

i wanted to copy some existing datasets to my personal datasets, which are having different lrecl etc. so using a LIKE parm will make my job easier...

Hi MF78,

Can you supply ds info for the file you're trying to imitate? E.g. dsorg, space, dcb, # of vols, etc.

You may want to consider giving up on "like" and use:
dcb=(AKSDF72.USER.JCL,dsorg=po) along w/the space and unit params.

Regards, Jack.
