EXTENT control statement

Specifies the maximum number of extensions of the OSAM data set that can be created. IMS™ HP Load checks the extension number of a reorganized data set after its reorganization. When the extension number is larger than what you specified on the EXTENT control statement, IMS HP Load issues a user abend.

This control statement is optional. If you do not specify this control statement, EXTENT=52 is used.

Note: If the OSAM data set is created on EAV, this control statement is ignored.
