Using Auxiliary Disposition › Batch Auxiliary Disposition › Data Set Name Control Statement

Data Set Name Control Statement

The Data Set Name (DSN) control statement identifies the cataloged data set name that is processed. This control statement is required for BATCH Auxiliary Disposition Processing and precedes the optional Message control statement.

The DSN statement has the following format:

DSN=data.set.name[,UNCATLG][,LABEL]

DSN=data.set.name

Describes the cataloged data set name to be processed. If it is a GDG, a relative generation specification is permitted. This must begin in position one.

UNCATLG

Allows you to uncatalog the data set entry from the system catalog. This parameter is optional.

LABEL

Generates an external label request. External label requests are processed by the Online Label Interface.

Note: For more information see Common Tape System.
