This can be a new partitioned data set, or an existing PDS.  In the current example, the target load library is CONNX.STASK.LOAD.

VOLSER

The DASD volume serial on which the new CONNX load library is created. Specify a VOLSER and a UNIT to create the PDS on a specific volume, or leave both fields blank to accept the system defaults. If linking into an existing PDS, leave the VOLSER and UNIT text boxes blank.

UNIT

The DASD device type (3380, 3390, etc.) of the above VOLSER. Omit if the VOLSER field is blank.

CONNX Server Data Set

CONNX DSN Prefix

CONNX DSN Prefix A one- or multi-part high-level data set prefix, which is used to create the CONNX installation sequential and partitioned data sets on the target host. In the current example, the installation prefix is CONNX.STASK. See the DSN Prefix Data Sets table for a description of the data sets created with this prefix.

VOLSER

Optional: The DASD volume serial on which the CONNX.STASK sequential and partitioned data sets are created.

UNIT

VSAM Samples

VSAM Samples Prefix

Given the default data set profix of CONNX.STASK, the VSAM, QSAM, and partitioned data sets listed in VSAM Objects for CONNX.STASK.SAMPLES are created and loaded with sample data.

VOLSER

Required if the Create check box is checked. The DASD volume serial on which the CONNX.STASK.SAMPLES VSAM, QSAM, and sample partitioned data sets are created.
