Dropping IDICNF00 parmlib member data set specifications

It is possible to drop all data set specifications for a given DDname specified in the IDICNF00 parmlib member by using the special data set name, -DROPCNF-.

If, for example, the IDICNF00 parmlib member contained:
DataSets(IDILCOB(FRED.L1,FRED.L2))
and an IDIOPTS user-options file contained:
DataSets(IDILCOB(FRED.L3,-DROPCNF-,FRED.L4))
then the final logical concatenation of data sets for the IDILCOB DDname would be:
IDILCOB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=FRED.L3
        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=FRED.L4
Note that the -DROPCNF- data set name can be specified anywhere that a DataSets option can be specified. It can, however, not be provided by an Analysis Control user exit.
