DYNCAT Commands
PRIme=
PRIme=(sequence,volser,unit,q1,q2,SYSnnn)
Optional parameter. Modifies the characteristics of a particular prime data
extent to be generated for a disk dataset if it is to be allocated by the CA
Dynam/D component. Valid entries are specified within parentheses and
require:
sequence
volser
unit
Extent sequence number to be modified by ALTER. Must
be numeric 0-255. This is a required operand.
Volume serial number upon which the extent resides. May
be either a real, virtual (pool), or generic volser.
Unit of allocation for the extent, one of TRK (tracks), CYL
(cylinders), BLK (FBA blocks), RCD (number of records),
or ABS (absolute quantity, indicating fixed extent file).
Applies to sequential files only.
For nonsequential files (DA, ISAM), the unit will always
be treated as tracks.
q1 Number of units to allocate for primary allocation, 0-
999999. If unit was specified as ABS, specifies the
beginning location of extent.
q2
SYSnnn
If unit was specified as ABS, specifies the number of
tracks or blocks for the extent. Not valid unless ABS was
specified.
Logical unit to use for the extent(s) generated if none
was specified in the DTF.
