Allocation Member Format

The format of a key in an Allocation member is:

KEY=keyname

where keyname is the name of the key that points to a DD statement entry by the same name in a DSN member (member IOADSN or IOADSNL). keyname usually matches the DD statement to which it points. Mandatory.

Conditional blocks of execution can be specified using the )SEL and )ENDSEL parameters: If no )SEL parameters are specified, the subsequent allocations (that is, KEY=parameters) apply to all products.

)SEL ppp=value

          KEY=keyname

KEY=keyname

    KEY=keyname

        .
