Parameters

The COMPILE subcommand takes the following parameters:

*

Indicates that the text that follows is input to the compiler. This process is referred to as an inline compile. In an online environment, the system prompts you to enter the CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule text directly from the terminal. In batch, the statements following the COMPILE subcommand are assumed to be input. See the CA ACF2 Administrator Guide for information about using batch to enter ACF subcommands.

datasetname

Specifies the partitioned data set and member name that contains the CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule set to be compiled. The partitioned data set name follows TSO conventions. Your high‑level index is assumed, unless you specify the entire PDS name and enclose it in single quotes.

If you do not specify a member name, CA ACF2 Option for DB2 prompts you for one. To compile input from all PDS members, specify the ALL parameter. When you specify ALL, CA ACF2 Option for DB2 automatically stores all of the rules. CA ACF2 Option for DB2 does not compile multiple rule sets from a single PDS member.

LIST|NOLIST

The LIST subcommand displays the input to the compiler on your terminal or prints it on your listing during compilation of a rule set. NOLIST causes no such display or printed list. LIST is the default, however, the LIST parameter is ignored when compiling inline. In the case of an inline compile, NOLIST is always in effect.

STORE|NOSTORE

The STORE parameter automatically stores the rule set at compilation time. NOSTORE prevents automatic storing of the rule set; you must issue the STORE subcommand to save the rule set in the Infostorage database. STORE is the default if you are using the ALL parameter to compile all members of a PDS. Otherwise, NOSTORE is the default.

NORULELONG

Overrides the use of the rulelong compiler when RULELONG is active. Normally, CA ACF2 uses the rulelong compiler to compile rules if the RULELONG option is set. The rulelong format is an expanded record format. If a ruleset is small and therefore does not require the rulelong format, specifying NORULELONG on a compile lets you compile a ruleset using a compact record format. This way, you can choose to compile rules with the format that is required for the ruleset.

ALL

Compiles and stores CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule sets from all members of a specified partitioned data set (PDS). If any members of a PDS do not contain an CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule set, do not specify this parameter.
