Decompiling Into a Data Set

You can capture CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule sets by putting them into a partitioned data set (PDS) member. This method enables you to change a parameter in the rule set without having to reenter the entire rule entry. After changing the data set member, you can then compile from the member and store the rule set in the Infostorage database.

For example, enter

acf
 ACF
set db2(tbl) sysid(db2p)
 DB2
decomp finance.qtly_returns into(rules.text(ruleset))

The rule set would then appear in the RULESET member of the RULES.TEXT partitioned data set (prefixed with the default prefix of your logonid).
