ZosDataSetInfo

The ZosDataSetInfo object represents a set of data set properties that can be used to create a new data set.

An empty ZosDataSetInfo object can be created using the default constructor. You can then set the desired ZosDataSetInfo properties, before using it, to create a new data set.

You can clone the properties of another data set using the GetInfo method of ZosDataSet to copy the properties of an existing data set into a new ZosDataInfo object. There is also one form of the ZosDataSetInfo constructor that initializes the properties from an existing data set. This cloned ZosDataSetInfo object can be used to create a new data set after making any desired changes to its properties.

ZosDataSetInfo Constructor

ZosDataSetInfo()

The default constructor can be used to create a new ZosDataSetInfo object. Because that constructor has no arguments, you must initialize the object by setting its properties.

ZosDataSetInfo() 

...

ZosDataSetInfo(ZosDataSet)

This constructor copies the properties from an existing data set.

ZosDataSetInfo(  
        ZosDataSet dataset )

Parameters

dataset Existing data set from which to copy properties.
