@GROUP-Group Names for Logonid Display

This macro creates a name for a group of logonid record fields ACF command displays. The syntax of the @GROUP macro is:

@GROUP text

text

Any text string up to 30 characters enclosed in quotes.

The SHOW FIELDS subcommand of the ACF command displays the external names of the logonid record fields sorted under the appropriate group name. The @CFDE macro GROUP=operand specifies the group where a particular logonid record field belongs. Group 0 is the default group in the @CFDE macro. You cannot define Group 0 with an @GROUP macro. You must specify the twelve group entries supplied with the distributed ACFFDR. Additional ones are optional. You can define up to 50 site‑defined group statements. For example, to create a group 13 category for logonid fields, place an additional @GROUP with the desired name after the supplied @GROUPs in the ACFFDR. Then, CA ACF2 for z/VM displays any field defined with GROUP=13 in its @CFDE macro under the group 13 title when listed. To define a group number of 15, you must define a dummy group 13 and 14, using dummy text.

The groups supplied with the default ACFFDR are:

You cannot assign a group name to Group 0. The identification section of a logonid record display refers to Group 0. See the @HEADER macro section in this chapter for more information about the logonid record display and Group 0.
