Create Data

Use the Create Data utility function to create and initialize data values in VSAM data sets, sequential data sets, PDS members, and HFS files.

You specify the number of records that are to be created and how they are to be initialized. You can initialize the data with fill characters and patterns. When you use a copybook or a template you can initialize records at the field level. You can change the field create attributes for individual fields by editing the copybook or template.

This page details the mapping of fields to batch parameters and miscellaneous notes. For the full description of each parameter, refer to the IBM File Manager Users Guide and Reference.
