DCOLLECTDCOLLECT ParametersRACF Authorization: To control access to the DCOLLECT function, a RACFcheck for authorization is made for a FACILITY class profile ofSTGADMIN.IDC.DCOLLECT. If this profile exists, then read authority isnecessary. The command will not be successful if the user is not authorized.The DCOLLECT command uses the following parameters.Required ParametersOUTDATASET(entryname)identifies the target data set. You must use a physical sequential data set witha record format of V or VB. Use an LRECL that is at least the size of the longestDCOLLECT record to be collected. Changes to the JCL are not necessary if youuse an LRECL larger than the longest record to be collected. The LRECLshould be at least as large as the longest record DCOLLECT generates but notlarger than 32756. A mid-range value is appropriate.If you use OUTDATASET, the entryname is dynamically allocated with a statusof either OLD or MOD, as required by the REPLACE parameter.Abbreviation: ODSOUTFILE(ddname)enter the name of a DD statement that identifies the target data set.Abbreviation: OFILE||Optional ParametersBACKUPDATArequires that information on backed up data sets is collected from the givenbackup control data set (BCDS).The desired BCDS must be allocated to the ddname BCDS.Abbreviation: BACDCAPPLANDATAincludes capacity planning information in the output data set. Allocate theMCDS to the ddname MCDS and the BCDS to the ddname BCDS.Abbreviation: CAPDDDCMEDIA(DDCMENUL|DDCMEDA1|DDCMEDA2|DDCMEDA3|DDCMEDA4|DDCMEDA5|DDCMEDA6|DDCMEDA7|DDCMEDA8)shows the type and format of the cartridges used for mountable tape data setsused with this data class.
