Database Data Set Specification panel

On the Database Data Set Specification panel, you specify the database data sets that you want the function to use.

The panel is displayed when, on the Browse Entry panel, Edit Entry panel, Extract Entry panel, Load Entry panel, Print Entry panel, Batch Edit Entry panel, or Batch Browse Entry panel, you specify:
  • Region type of "DLI".
  • Skip DB data set panel option not selected.
  • A database that is not a HALDB.
  • An IMS subsystem that is not defined as dynamic allocation only in the FM/IMS installation options module.
It is also displayed when, on the Delete/Define Entry panel or the Initialize Entry panel, you specify:
  • Skip DB data set panel option not selected.
  • A database that is not a HALDB.
  • An IMS subsystem that is not defined as dynamic allocation only in the FM/IMS installation options module.

Subsystem
The subsystem name you specified on the selected function's Entry panel.
Database
The database name you specified on the function's entry panel.
DBD name
The names of these physical DBDs:
  • Either the DBD for the database specified on the function's entry panel (if it is a physical DBD), or the physical DBDs that it references (if it is a logical DBD).
  • The physical DBDs that are logically related to the physical DBDs specified in the above bullet.
ddname
The DD name for each database data set that the function uses.
Data set name
When the Fetch dsnames from option is set to "User profile", the panel displays the data set names that were saved in your user profile. See the description for the Save dsnames in profile option for more details.

When the Fetch dsnames from option is set to "DFSMDA members" and the RESLIB data sets for the specified subsystem have DFSMDA dynamic allocation members for the listed physical DBDs, the panel displays the database data sets names specified in these members.

If the displayed data set names are not the ones you want the function to use (or no data set names are displayed), type in the data set names that you want the function to use and press Enter.

To confirm usage of the displayed data set names and to proceed to the next panel in the dialog, press Enter once more.

Fetch dsnames from
This option allows you to select which data set names are displayed on the panel. Enter:
1. User profile
Display the data set names stored in your user profile.
2. DFSMDA members
Display the data set names specified in the DFSMDA dynamic allocation members.

When you first enter this panel, this option is set to the value you specified for the Fetch DB dsnames from option on the function's entry panel.

Save dsnames in profile
Select this option if you want the database data set names that are displayed on the panel to be saved in your user profile. The data set names are saved when you move forward in the dialog to the next panel. They are saved in an ISPF table that is keyed on the subsystem name, the DBD name and the DD name. Whenever the panel is redisplayed for the specified subsystem and database (or a logically-related database), these saved database data set names are displayed if the Fetch dsnames from option is set to User profile.
