Set Allocation

Changes the settings for data (keyword DATA) or text (keyword TEXT) file allocation on the Arbutus zSeries Server.

Note: You cannot specify both data and text file allocations within the same Set Allocation command.

Issuing Set Allocation with no parameters will reset the current data and text file allocation values back to their default settings (that is, those specified in the Arbutus zSeries Server Custom file).

Note: If PRIMARY and/or SECONDARY parameters are specified but are not preceded with either DATA or TEXT then the remainder of the command line after SET ALLOCATION is ignored.

Set Allocation always displays the current allocation settings.
