Dataclass in the CFTRECV FNAME does not work as when with CFT 2.3.2 ?

Problem

Dataclass in the CFTRECV  FNAME does not work as when with CFT 2.3.2 ?


Resolution

Into specific cases certain DFSMS parameters can be specified when creating a file, using
one of the following:
      CFTRECV WFNAME=¿value¿
      CFTFILE FNAME=¿value¿
Where 'value' is in the format: WFNAME=¿AN.MVS.DSNAME,keword1=value1,keyword2=value2¿
or
FNAME=¿AN.MVS.DSNAME,keword1=value1,keyword2=value2¿



Note Keywords are separated with comma, and must be enclosed in quotes.
Supported keywords and values include:
        DATACLAS=class
        DSNTYPE=BASIC/EXTPREF/EXTREQ/LARGE - to override a predefined value in the SGINSTAL options
        EATTR=OPT - which is valid only with z/OS 1.11 and higher, otherwise it is discarded
        MGMTCLAS=class
        STORCLAS=class
(V27X)         RETPD=nnnn
(V27X)         EXPDT=yyyyddd/yydddd
Examples
To force the creation of the received file in the EAV section of a volume:
CFTRECV FNAME=A.GDG(+1), WFNAME=¿WORK.&PART.&IDTU,DSNTYPE=EXTREQ,EATTR=OPT¿



To create a large (greater than 7 million records) Transfer CFT catalog :
CFTFILE TYPE=CAT,MODE=CREATE,FNAME=¿cftv2.CATALOG,EATTR=OPT¿,RECNB=7123456
