Define New Library (DL)

Define New Library

This command initializes the dataset referred to in the DDNAME parameter to be a tableBASE library.

MOVE 'DL'                   TO xxxx-COMMAND.
CALL 'TBLBASE' USING        TB-PARM
                            xxxx-COMMAND-AREA
                            DDNAME
                            [LIB-SPACE].

memcpy( tbCommArea.tbCommand, "DL", 2 );
TBLBASE( &tbParm, &tbCommArea, pDDName, &tbLibSpace );

DDNAME

LIB-SPACE (optional)—Upon return, the LIB-SPACE parameter contains the number of blocks defined for the library and the number of blocks remaining after tableBASE has used some blocks to create the library directory.

The dataset must have a disposition of NEW or OLD in the JCL, and have at least 10 blocks allocated.

Error 0061 subcode 3 occurs when the DL command failed because the library is already open.

Error 0061 subcode 4 occurs when the DL command failed because the DISP must be NEW or OLD.

Error 0061 subcode 5 occurs when the DL command failed because the VSAM library was not defined as reusable.

The error codes listed above are unique to DL; other, more generic errors are possible for DL (40, 61, etc.).

This command is only available in a single-task batch environment.
