Updating one criteria set in the foreground using option 4.3

  1. Select option 4 Templates from the Primary Option menu to display the Template/View/Criteria Set menu.
  2. Select option 3 Criteria sets to display the Criteria Set Entry panel.
  3. In the Criteria Data set name field, specify a fully-qualified or generic data set name to identify the required data set. If the data set is partitioned, fill in the criteria set member name, or enter a criteria set member name pattern to be able to select the criteria set from the Criteria Member Selection list.
  4. Then type U on the command line and press Enter.
  5. If the process detects that there has been a change to the template that warrants an update of the criteria set, a “Criteria set updated? message is displayed. The criteria set is then updates with the new information found in the template. You can now edit the criteria set, to account for any changes in segments. If the criteria set is still valid for the current template then a “Update not required? will be displayed.

    If significant changes have been made to the template, then the update process might not produce the expected results. In this case, use the CT command to recreate the criteria set from the template and then the E command to edit it.
