  57.    )F FUNCTION -                                                                
  58.     Batch and TSO procedures have been developed to allow the user              
  59.     to create "work" disk data sets that will stay on the system for            
  60.     24 to 48 hours.  A "work" or "day" data set will be erased during           
  61.     system backups when its creation date is less than the Julian date          
  62.     of the backup minus 1.  These data sets will not be backed up; i.e.,        
  63.     they cannot be retrieved from backup tapes if they are inadvertently        
  64.     erased or destroyed by the user.                                            
  65.                                                                                 
  66.     Users are encouraged to utilize workfile space when at all                  
  67.     possible.  Under the GSU disk space control system, DASD tracks             
  68.     used for workfile datasets are not accumulated against a user's             
  69.     maximum allowed DASD tracks.                                                
  70.                                                                                 
  71.     Examples:                                                                   
  72.                                                                                 
  73.     1.  %WORKFILE DSN(COBOL) DIR(10) QUAL(userid)                               
  74.         This example creates a partitioned data set called                      
  75.         userid.DAY.COBOL with a high level qualifier "userid" that the          
  76.         user has access authority to, with a logical record length of 80        
  77.         characters and a blocksize of 6320.  The data set will have a           
  78.         primary allocation of 1 track and a secondary allocation of             
  79.         3 tracks.                                                               
  80.     2.  %WORKFILE DSN(LIST) RECFM(VBA) LRECL(137) BLKSIZE(5895)                 
  81.         This example creates a variable blocked sequential data set called      
  82.         userid.DAY.LIST.  The logical record length is 137 characters           
  83.         (4 bytes for the record length, 1 byte for the ANSI carriage            
  84.         control character and 132 bytes for data) with a blocksize of           
  85.         5895 characters.  The data set has a primary allocation of 1            
  86.         track and a secondary allocation of 3 tracks.                           
  87.                                                                                 
  88.     3.  %WORKFILE DSN(TEST.JCL) UNIT(BLK) AVGB(6320) SPACE(10) DIR(20)          
  89.         This example creates a fixed blocked partitioned data set               
  90.         called userid.DAY.TEST.JCL.  The logical record length is               
  91.         80 bytes with a blocksize of 6320.  The data set is allocated           
  92.         in blocks of 6320 characters; the primary allocation is 10 of           
  93.         such blocks with the secondary being 3 blocks.

  118.     A clist that you write to call %WORKFILE could test the value of            
  119.     &LASTCC to determine the success or failure of the data set

  123.                                                                                 
  124.     The TSO clist can be called from the 6 screen using the command             
  125.     %WORKFILE or from any ISPF main command line by typing TSO                  
  126.     %WORKFILE.  Below is a description of the parameters and their              
  127.     defaults:                                                                   
  128.                                                                                 
  129.     BATCH Execution                                                             
  130.                                                                                 
  131.     The JCL procedure called WORKFILE can be executed to allocate a             
  132.     workfile during a batch job stream by coding:                               
  133.                                                                                 
  134.        //STEP1   EXEC  WORKFILE,param1,param2                                   
  135.                                                                                 
  136.           Execution Results:                                                    
  137.                                                                                 
  138.     The WORKFILE procedure actually sets up a batch TSO environment and         
  139.     executes the %WORKFILE clist.  Using this technique, the same
  140.     messages described above will be printed on the job output.
  141.     Similarly, the step return code will be set to the value of the             
  142.     &LASTCC symbolic variable.  Successive job steps can test the value         
  143.     of this return code to determine whether to continue execution.             
  144.                                                                                 
  145.     For example, you may not want to execute the next step in your job          
  146.     stream if the workfile you are requesting to allocate is already            
  147.     allocated.  In which case, you would code:                                  
  148.                                                                                 
  149.           //STEP1   EXEC  WORKFILE,DSN='TEST',UNIT=BLK,AVGB=6320                
  150.           //STEP2   EXEC  PGM=MYPGM,COND=(0,NE,STEP1.WORKFILE)                  
  151.                                                                                 
  152.     In the next example, you do want to execute the next step even if           
  153.     the workfile has previously been allocated.  That is, the only              
  154.     condition under which the next step should not be executed is if            
  155.     allocation failed - the return code is 8 or 16.  You could code:            
  156.                                                                                 
  157.          //STEP3    EXEC  WORKFILE,DSN='TEST2',RECFM=VBA,LRECL=137,             
  158.          //         BLKSIZE=5895                                                
  159.          //STEP4    EXEC  PGM=MYPGM,COND=(4,LT,STEP3.WORKFILE)                  
  160.                                                                                 
  161.     In the above COND= parameters, please note that the stepname.WORKFILE       
  162.     is required.  For more information, please see the MVS/XA JCL
