An understanding between DSCB and SMS
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:45 am
Hi,
My head is spinning , need your help )))
1. Why do we create DSCB (Model dataset) while creating GDG?
2. Is that DSCB name should be same as GDG name?
3. If DSCB serving DCB parameter to particular version then why do we mention DCB=(DSCB dataset name, LRECL=nn,BLKSIZE=nn,RECFM=cc) ? Confused?
4. What is exactly SMS? how its different with DSCB?
5. How can we say SMS-dataset and Non-SMS dataset? How do i find my Mainframe supports SMS or not?
Awaiting for your replied.
