Data Set

Describes the data set to be processed:

Data set name

The data set name to be used as the target of the catalog service you have requested. For the list and print services, you can specify a generic data set name.

Catalog ID

The catalog to be searched in place of using the system catalog search order.

Processing Options

Entry type

Restricts the catalog search to the specified type. The effect of this option depends on the catalog service that has been requested. For all services except DEFINE, it simply restricts the search to entries of the specified type and is useful with the list or print service and a generic data set specification. With the DEFINE service, it predetermines or restricts the type of entry to be defined. If the type is ambiguous (Any, VSAM, Cluster, Data, or Index), File Manager displays a pop-up panel from which you can specify a specific entry type to be defined.

Batch execution

Presents the JCL to run the LIST, PRINT, DEFINE, or DELETE functions in batch. You can edit the JCL before submitting it. Use the Set Batch Job Card Information panel to tailor the default JOB card that File Manager uses to generate JCL.

with list

Used in conjunction with the Batch execution option. File Manager first displays a data set list matching the entered data set name allowing you to specify DEFINE or DELETE functions using prefix commands to produce JCL for a data set selected from the list.

Include Additional Qualifiers

When selected, generates the data set list with all data sets matching the qualifiers in the Data set name field, including data sets with additional qualifiers.

When not selected, the data set list is restricted to only include data sets with the qualifiers entered in the Data set name field. Data sets with additional qualifiers are not included.

YY/MM/DD date format (def. YYYY.DDD)

When selected, causes all dates on the Data Set List panel and listing to be shown as YY/MM/DD instead of the default YYYY.DDD.

Processing limit

When selected, only the specified number of entries are processed for display or print.
