What is model dataset label(Model DSCB)?..

Answer / guest

A model dataset label is a pattern for the dataset label
created for any dataset named as a part of the GDG group.
The system needs an existing dataset to serve as a model to
supply the DCB parameters for the generation data group one
wishes to create. The model dataset label must be cataloged.
The model DSCB name is placed on the DCB parameter on the DD
statement that creates the generation data group.
