Description

The type of data set that a user other than a system manager or system administrator can allocate or release using the ALLOCATE or FREE command

Valid settings of ALOCPRIV follow (options can be summed):

Valid settingsALOCPRIV action
1 Sequential data sets beginning with the prefix OUT (USE data sets)
2 Sequential data sets beginning with the prefix TAPE (deferred update data sets)
4 Direct access data sets (Model 204 files)

If ALOCPRIV=4, users are limited to SCOPE=USER data sets.

The default setting, 0, restricts all ALLOCATE and FREE functions to a system manager or a system administrator.
