Then the screen with dataset properties is opened, and we have an example of filling it in instruction:
DISPOSITION ===> NEW (N/NEW, M/MOD OR O/OLD)
NORMAL DISP. ===> CATLG (C/CATLG OR K/KEEP)
SPACE UNITS ===> TRKS (C/CYLS OR T/TRKS)
PRIMARY QUAN. ===> 200 (IN ABOVE UNITS)
SECONDARY QUAN. ===> 5 (IN ABOVE UNITS)
DIRECTORY BLOCKS ===> (ZERO OR BLANK FOR SEQUENTIAL)
RECORD FORMAT ===> FB
RECORD LENGTH ===> 133 (MAX 255 RECFM=F, MAX 259 RECFM=V)
So I press Enter on this screen, get no errors and no messages at all, my dataset is created happily, but for some reason it comes out perfectly empty. But if I try to delete it, system says, "Data set is open". And the same instruction works just fine for the colleague next to me being applied to the very same job 5 minutes later. What am I doing wrong? I've googled through the whole google and only found a fancy brochure about $AVRS describing how cool is it. They don't seem to believe one needs the manual here. So please help!
