Inplace edit

If you select this option, the edit session does not allow you to insert or delete records.

If you deselect this option, then for QSAM, VSAM ESDS and VSAM RRDS data sets that are larger than the available virtual storage, or when using this in conjunction with a start position or record limit, File Manager uses an auxiliary file in order to allow rewriting of the data set.

Inplace edit is implied when using any of the following:

• A segmented record type data set, as indicated by your chosen template, with selection criteria specified in the template.
• A segmented record type data set, as indicated by your chosen template, and the data set is fixed blocked QSAM or VSAM RRDS.
• Record sampling,
• A record limit of MEMORY, or
• A VSAM data set defined as NOREUSE
• Include only selected records.

Create audit trail

Determines if File Manager generates an audit report of all successful modifications to data made during an Edit session.

The display of this option depends on whether SAF-rule controlled is in effect. See SAF-rule controlled auditing.

The ability to change this option depends on the installation options (in the FMN0POPT macro).

When your system administrator has enforced audit logging, the Create audit trail option in this panel is ignored.

When your system administrator has not enforced audit logging, you can set this option on or off for any particular editing task. Type a “/” in the option entry field to generate audit reporting for the current Edit session.

For more information about setting the Audit Trail options, refer to the File Manager for z/OS Customization Guide or see your systems administrator.
