RE: Question About LIKE Parm

Sorry, I gave a cursory look to your job - I didn't notice you were doing an
ALLOC. In any case, if you want, you can just add DIR(n) where n is some
number of directory blocks to your ALLOC.

I tried the following here and it created a data set with 99 dirblcks:
//SYSIN DD *
ALLOC DA('SYS2.TEST.PARMLIB') -
LIKE ('SYS1.PARMLIB') DIR(99)

Data Set Name . . . : SYS2.TEST.PARMLIB

General Data Current Allocation
Volume serial . . . : Z17STG Allocated cylinders : 10
Device type . . . . : 3390 Allocated extents . : 1
Organization . . . : PO Maximum dir. blocks : 99
Record format . . . : FB

However, if I leave the DIR parm off, I still get a data set created with
directory blocks, so I wonder why your job doesn't work. What z/OS level
are you?
