Activating the CDAM

Use the following syntax to activate CDAM:

//ddname DD SUBSYS=(subsys-name,'parameters')

where

• ddname is any standard DD name can be used
• subsys-name is the name assigned to the Compressed Dataset Access Method at installation time. The name can be site dependent and is defined by Control-V installation parameter AMNAME. Throughout this guide the name CDAM is used.
• parameters are CDAM parameters (described below)

The SUBSYS parameter is a standard JCL parameter. For detailed information about this parameter, refer to the relevant operating system publications.

Compressed Dataset Access Method parameters can span more than one line. In this case, the following JCL syntax should be used:

//PRINT    DD  SUBSYS=(CDAM,'PREFIX=J08,UNIT=PROD',

//         'OUTLIM=30000')
