DEFAULTS Data Set

The data in the DEFAULTS data set is positional. The location of the data must be defined to TMSCONVR using SYSIN control statements. The format of the SYSIN control statements is defined on n.

Each record in the ACTIVITY data set is matched by data set name with a record in the DEFAULTS data set. For each record matched, one output record (or a group of output records, as in the case of TMSUPDTE output) is generated. Data in the ACTIVITY data set overrides the corresponding data in the DEFAULTS data set when the two matched records are merged for output. The DEFAULTS data (defined by the SYSIN control statements) that is not specified on the ACTIVITY data set is moved into the output record.

If there is a data set name in the ACTIVITY data set that is not matched with a DEFAULTS data set record, or vice versa, no output record is generated for that data set name. There must be a matching data set name for a record to be output. Field and data are bypassed when the field contains only blanks, binary zeros or packed zeros.

The DEFAULTS data set must not contain duplicate records. If more than one physical record makes up one logical record, this must be indicated to TMSCONVR by use of the DEFAULTS= parameter.

Note: There are no TMSUPDTE output records created for data sets MNO (DEFAULTS input) and GHI (ACTIVITY input). For an output record to be created, there must be a matching data set name for the DEFAULTS data set and the ACTIVITY data set.
