Only the size of the record limits the combined field lengths for X‑SGP records. You can define the following fields in an X‑SGP record:
|
Record ID |
Fields |
|---|---|
|
grpname |
SOURCE|GROUP |
The fields of the source group record are described below:
Specifies a one‑ to eight‑character name of the source group.
Specifies the function of the record. SOURCE indicates that the record defines a group of sources by logical or physical source names. The default value is SOURCE.
GROUP indicates that the record defines a group of source groups. Specify GROUP only when you want to define an X‑SGP record that cross‑references other X‑SGP records. See the Cross‑Referencing X‑SGP Records section for an example.
Specifies the terminals, group of terminals, or group of terminal groups that you want to include in the record.
Each entry (whether it is a terminal ID or a record ID) can consist of a maximum of eight characters. Separate the entries using commas or blanks. You can mask entries using the asterisk or dash characters. For details on how to use masking characters, see the Masking Logonids section in the “About the Logonid Record” chapter. Only the size of the record limits this field, that is, approximately 4K.
You can specify terminal IDs or record IDs; you cannot specify both in the same X‑SGP record. That is, to use both the SOURCE and the GROUP functions, you need to define a separate X‑SGP record for each and define a unique record ID for each record.
Specifies the terminals, group of terminals, or group of terminal groups that you do not want to include in the record. Specify EXCLUDE entries only when you mask the INCLUDE field. For example, suppose you have 20 terminals whose IDs all begin with GRAF01 and you want to include all but two of these terminals in your source group. Specify GRAF01‑ in the INCLUDE field and specify the full terminal IDs of the two terminals you want to exclude, GRAF0105 and GRAF0106, in the EXCLUDE field.
Each entry (whether it is a terminal ID or a record ID) can consist of a maximum of eight characters. Separate the entries using commas or blanks. You can mask entries. For details on how to use masking characters, see the Masking Logonids section in the “About the Logonid Record” chapter. Only the size of the record limits this field, that is, approximately 4K.
If you specify SOURCE, EXCLUDE specifies the individual terminals that are excluded from the group defined by the INCLUDE field.
You can specify either terminal IDs or record IDs; you cannot specify both in the same X‑SGP record. That is, to use both the SOURCE and the GROUP functions, you need to define a separate X‑SGP record for each and define a unique record ID for each record.
When you specify the EXCLUDE field, remember that CA ACF2 for VM performs sort processing from the most specific to the most general. The most specific entry is always chosen as the valid entry, because it is matched first.
Therefore, if you specify GRAF01*5 in the INCLUDE field, and GRAF0105 in the EXCLUDE field, GRAF0105 is excluded, even though it matches the masked field, because GRAF0105 is more specific. More importantly, remember the EXCLUDE entry can override the INCLUDE entry. For example, if you specified GRAF01‑ in the INCLUDE field and GRAF01 in the EXCLUDE field, the GRAF01 entry overrides the GRAF01‑ entry because it is more specific. Also, by default, if the INCLUDE field and the EXCLUDE field have the same entry, the entry is excluded from the group.
