IBM Mainframe Forum

Hi,

I am using the following lines of code to create a dataset with some attributes, expecting it to create a fixed block dataset. But some how it is taking default values. Here is the code:

String targetDD = ZFile.allocDummyDDName();
String totalArgs = "alloc fi(" + targetDD + ") da('abc.def.xyz') reuse new " +
"dsorg(ps) lrecl(80) recfm(fb) tracks space(100,50) blksize(800) catalog msg(wtp)";
ZFile.bpxwdyn(totalArgs);
ZFile.bpxwdyn("free fi(" + targetDD + ") msg(wtp)");

Request you to look into this issue.

Regards,
Pramod

I feel that you are being unduly harsh. To "request" is merely to ask that a thing be done. You may have been thinking of "require" (or even the formal "request and require"), which I agree would have been presumptuous of him.

Rather than post here, what pramodkumar really should have done is check the documentation for BPXWDYN in Using REXX and z/OS UNIX System Services for pramodkumar's z/OS release. The documentation will tell pramodkumar exactly what he did wrong AND how to correct it.
