Data class

&USER

Represents the user ID.

&PREFIX

Represents the TSO prefix.

The default is none (unless changed in your File Manager installation).

Model Data Set Name

A data set name to be used as the model file for defining the auxiliary data set for a full function edit session. The TSO prefix (as defined for your user ID) is used as the high-level qualifier for any name that is not enclosed in quotation marks.

A model data set is used to override the value of the VOLUMES parameter for the auxiliary data set definition. The model file must be a VSAM cluster. It should be defined as a RRDS or VRRDS depending on the attributes of the data set being edited. You can provide both RRDS and VRRDS models by specifying a model data set name that does not exist and represents a prefix for the data set name that will be used.

The model data set that File Manager uses is the name you provided suffixed with .RRDS for fixed and .VRRDS for variable length records.

Auxiliary Data Set Name

A data set name to be used as the auxiliary file for a full function edit session. The TSO prefix (as defined for your user ID) is used as the high-level qualifier for any name that is not enclosed in quotation marks.

The auxiliary file must be a REUSEable RRDS file, whose record length definitions must be compatible with the file being edited.

If this field is left blank, a RRDS file is automatically defined for the edit session and subsequently deleted.

It should be defined as a RRDS or VRRDS depending on the attributes of the data set being edited.

You can provide both RRDS and VRRDS data sets by specifying a data set name that does not exist and represents a prefix for the data set name that will be used.

The auxiliary data set that File Manager uses is the name you provided suffixed with .RRDS for fixed and .VRRDS for variable length records.
