Use the DEFINE CLUSTER command of Access Method Services to define
and catalog VSAM data sets. To use the DEFINE command, you need
to know:
- The name and password of the master catalog if the master catalog
is password protected
- The name and password of the VSAM private catalog you are using
if you are not using the master catalog
- Whether VSAM space for your data set is available
- The type of VSAM data set you are going to create
- The volume on which your data set is to be placed
- The average and maximum record size in your data set
- The position and length of the key for an indexed data set
- The space to be allocated for your data set
- How to code the DEFINE command
- How to use the Access Method Services program.
When you have the information, you are in a position to code
the DEFINE command and then define and catalog the data set using
Access Method Services.
