In the previous table, dsname and file name are the same. Enclose them in quotation marks unless you want your TSO user ID prefixed to the front of the file name. For example, if your user ID is USERABC and you enter SYS1.LINKLIB, CA Auditor assumes you mean the file named USERABC.SYS1.LINKLIB. Enter “SYS1.LINKLIB” in quotation marks to ensure that you indicate the correct data set.

CA Auditor accepts 44 characters for a data set name, plus 2 more for the quotes, totaling 46 characters. Program or member names in CA Panvalet can be up to 10 characters. For PDSs, PDS/Es, or CA Librarian programs or members, the maximum is eight characters.
