To use this panel, first decide on the command you want to use, then fill in the required fields (described for each command, in the following list), then type the command on the command line and press Enter:

CT

Creates a new, empty extract criteria set from a template.

In this field…: Enter these details…
Template: The name of the partitioned data set that holds the template you want used to create the criteria set.
Criteria set: Sequential data set name, or PDS and member name, where you want to save the new criteria set. The Data set name field may also include a member name or name pattern in parentheses. If a member or member pattern is specified here, the associated Member field must be blank.

CM

Creates a new extract criteria set by copying an existing (model) extract criteria set.

In this field…: Enter these details…
Model criteria set: Sequential data set name, or PDS and member name, of the criteria set you want to copy (use as a model for the new criteria set). The Data set name field may also include a member name or name pattern in parentheses. If a member or member pattern is specified here, the associated Member field must be blank.
Criteria set: Sequential data set name, or PDS and member name, where you want to save the new criteria set. The Data set name field may also include a member name or name pattern in parentheses. If a member or member pattern is specified here, the associated Member field must be blank.

E

Edits an extract criteria set.

In this field…: Enter these details…
Criteria set: Sequential data set name, or PDS and member name, of the criteria set you want to edit. The Data set name field may also include a member name or name pattern in parentheses. If a member or member pattern is specified here, the associated Member field must be blank.

U

Updates an existing criteria set from the template that it was created from.

In this field…: Enter these details…
Criteria set: Sequential data set name, or PDS and member name, of the existing criteria set you want to update. The Data set name field may also include a member name or name pattern in parentheses. If a member or member pattern is specified here, the associated Member field must be blank.

Note: This command ignores any template you specify in the Template field. Instead, it obtains the PDS and member of the template from the criteria set.

Use this command when minor changes have been made to the template that the criteria set was created from.

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.
