Several important limitations apply when creating a subdataset EDD.
These limitations are:
You must catalog the subdatasets using Online Manager or
TSIDMNT, or autocatalog them using DD statements. You
cannot use TLBL statements to autocatalog subdatasets.
You must enter the prime dataset name correctly when a
subdataset is defined to the catalog. The prime dataset name
cannot be changed later. You can supply independent retention
criteria, passwords, and block sizes for each subdataset.
You may find it helpful to give all the datasets in each
multi-dataset group a single, unique user ID or system ID. This
makes it easier to report or scratch the datasets as a group, rather
than as individual datasets.
JCL
Requirements
There are several JCL requirements you must consider.
You must inhibit LUB allocation for all datasets using either
option 64 in a TLBL statement or option SYSnnn in a DD
statement.
You must inhibit LUB allocation through the DSN Catalog, if
you are creating subdatasets with a single program that opens
multiple DTFs with different logical units. To force BIM-EPIC to
use the same logical unit for each dataset, specify the same SYS
number in each EDD.
You can use a VSE // ASSGN statement to assign the SYS
number from the previous step to the SYS number in the current
step, if you are creating subdatasets with different programs using
DTFs with different logical units. This may be necessary when
using different utility programs to create subdatasets when the
utilities require different SYS numbers to be used.
BIM-EPIC corrects the file sequence number on your TLBL if it
is incorrect. You may omit the file sequence number.
You must specify TLBL option 16 (dataset drop), if your
program uses multiple open requests for the same DTF name.
Dataset drop is automatic when you use multiple DD statements
with the same ddname.
