z/OS V1R9.0 TSO/E Command Reference

RECEIVE CommandSPACE(primary,secondary)specifies primary and secondary space for the received data set. The defaultvalue for SPACE is a primary size equal to the size of the incoming data and asecondary size of approximately 25 percent of the primary. If the dispositionMOD is used, and the data set is not yet allocated, the system defaults areused to obtain the SPACE parameter defaults.TRACKSspecifies space to be allocated in tracks. TRACKS is the default when SPACEis specified.CYLINDERSspecifies space to be allocated in cylinders.BLOCKS(size)specifies space to be allocated in blocks of the specified size. BLOCKS is thedefault when SPACE is not specified.RELEASEspecifies unused space to be released when the receive operation is complete.DIRECTORY(blocks)specifies an override for the number of directory blocks in a partitioned data set.The default value for DIRECTORY is the number of directory blocks required forthe received members.If a sequential data set is being received into a new PDS by specifyingDA(X(MEM)) and DIRECTORY is not specified, the default value for directoryblocks is 27.BLKSIZE(size)specifies a value for the block size of the output data set. This value is used, ifit does not conflict with the received data set parameters or devicecharacteristics. BLKSIZE is ignored if specified in response to promptingmessage INMR907A Enter COPY parameters.NEW | OLD | MOD | SHRspecifies the data set disposition. If you do not specify one of the dispositionkeywords and the SPACE value is not present, RECEIVE first tries dispositionOLD and attempts to allocate an existing data set. If this fails, disposition NEWis used, space values are added, and another attempt is made at allocation.PARM(parameter string)Your installation may instruct you to use this operand to specify installationdependent data.SYSOUT(sysout_class | *)specifies a SYSOUT class to be used for messages from utility programs theRECEIVE command invokes (such as IEBCOPY). If * is specified, thesemessages are directed to the terminal. The default for SYSOUT is normally *,but this might be changed by the installation.PREVIEW | NOPREVIEWPREVIEWspecifies the received data should be displayed at the terminal as it isstored. This is generally appropriate only for sequential data sets becausewhat is displayed is the result of the first pass at restoring the data. Forpartitioned data sets, the IEBCOPY unloaded format is displayed.NOPREVIEWspecifies no previewing is to be done. NOPREVIEW is the default.Chapter 1. TSO/E commands and subcommands 249
