RE: how can we create a PDS file using jcl

PDS is also known as folder in disp parameter

disp (cyl (10 10 10) rlse)

first 10 primary memory

second 10 secondary memory

third 10 memory used to make pds.

if this 10 or any value is not present then a ps will be formed instead of pds

RE: how can we create a PDS file using jcl

It is absolutely necessary to add 'directory' subparameter to SPACE (TRK (20 20 50)...)

To be completely accurate we also need to add subparameter DCB (DSORG PO ...)

RE: How to create a PDS file using JCL

using IEFBR14 we can create pds with jcl.
//TZZZ84R JOB NOTIFY &SYSUID MSGCLASS X     
//STEP01 EXEC PGM IEFBR14         
//DD1  DD DSN TKOL084.DEMO DISP (NEW CATLG DELETE)   
//    DCB (RECFM FB LRECL 80 BLKSIZE 80 DSORG PO) 
//    SPACE (TRK (10 10 3) RLSE)      
//    UNIT SYSDA
