There can be up to 16 input decks. IBM provides one input deck, which is the IBMPAL input deck. You can concatenate up to 15 input decks of your own. Do not add allocator statements to the IBMPAL input deck because the order of the programs in the decks determines their ordinal number (also known as the program record number (PRN)) in the 4KB fixed-file record area. However, you may need to modify the allocator statements to meet your needs. All programs are allocated as 4KB.
You do not need to put all of the required core resident (CR) programs at the front of the allocator decks because residency is specified on the allocator statement itself, rather than being determined by the position of the allocator statement.
You need to specify the names of the input decks and the data set that contains them on the new INDSN macro using these parameters:
