Sample JCL to allocate the impact analysis data set

Impact analysis data is stored in VSAM data sets. The VSAM data set names need to conform to a specific naming convention. The format of the naming convention is IAHLQ.CCZVSAM.COPY.* or IAHLQ.CCZVSAM.CALL.* or IAHLQ.CCZVSAM.SEQ.* , where IAHLQ comprises the high-level qualifiers, up to 26 total characters including periods, and the low-level qualifiers are CCZVSAM. plus the required names, as shown below. For example, for the IAHLQ ADMIN.VSAM1, the VSAM file names are the following:

ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.BASE        
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.BASE.DATA   
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.BASE.INDEX  
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.NUAIXDA1    
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.NUAIXDA2    
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.NUAIXIX1    
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.NUAIXIX2    
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.NUAIX1      
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.NUAIX2      
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.NUPATH1     
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.CALL.NUPATH2     
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.BASE        
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.BASE.DATA   
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.BASE.INDEX  
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.NUAIXDA1    
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.NUAIXDA2    
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.NUAIXIX1    
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.NUAIXIX2    
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.NUAIX1      
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.NUAIX2      
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.NUPATH1     
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.COPY.NUPATH2     
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.SEQ.BASE           
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.SEQ.BASE.DATA      
ADMIN.VSAM1.CCZVSAM.SEQ.BASE.INDEX

This impact analysis high-level qualifier must be specified for the IA HLQ input field on the TSO Client Impact Analysis panels and in the HLQ= parameter of batch impact analysis queries. For more information about using TSO Client for impact analysis queries, see Using TSO Client for query and build requests and its subtopics. For more information about using remote build for impact analysis queries, see Using remote build for impact analysis queries and its subtopics.

We provide two kinds of sample JCL for VSAM data sets allocation. One is for VSAM RLS and the other is for VSAM non-RLS data sets.
