OFA Temp Work Data Sets High-Level Qualifier

Symptom:

I am not allowed to allocate data sets under my high-level qualifier (HLQ).

Solution:

During Command Manager and Object Migrate processing, the OFS agent allocates temporary work data sets under the user's prefix.

Follow these steps:

1. Identify the user HLQ by issuing the following command:

   TSO PROFILE
   

   Output similar to the following sample data is provided:

   IKJ56688I CHAR(0)  LINE(0)    PROMPT   INTERCOM   NOPAUSE MSGID   MODE    NOWTP
   MSG NORECOVER PREFIX(USERA01) PLANGUAGE(ENU) SLANGUAGE(ENU) VARSTORAGE(LOW)     
   IKJ56689I DEFAULT LINE/CHARACTER DELETE CHARACTERS IN EFFECT FOR THIS TERMINAL
   

   The PREFIX variable contains the HLQ. If this value is blank, the request is likely to fail.

2. Add the <PREFIX> parameter to the configuration file member under the following circumstances:
   • The PREFIX value is not defined.
   • The user does not want the temporary work data sets to be allocated under the PREFIX high-level qualifier.

   Note: The PREFIX could be defined at the LPAR level.

   The temporary work data sets are allocated to the work packs and are deleted according to the specifications at your site.
