EDITOR

Use the EDITOR parameter to define the default data sets that the IMOD editor and the CA‑GSS/ISERVE Control Panel should use.

Use this format for the EDITOR parameter:

EDITOR [[PLIB|MLIB|LLIB|CLIB|PARMLIB] dsn]
       [MEMBER member]
       [VIO vioname]

The EDITOR parameter takes these arguments.

Argument	Description
PLIB	Identifies the data set as your ISPF panel library.
MLIB	Identifies the data set as your ISPF message library.
LLIB	Identifies the data set as your ISPF load library.
CLIB	Identifies the data set as your CLIST library (SYSPROC).
PARMLIB	Identifies the data set as your parameter library.
dsn	Data set's dsname.
member	Default member of the PARMLIB data set that contains the IMOD editor's parameters and ISET menu.
vioname	UNIT name associated with VIO in your organization. (The IMOD compiler uses this name.)

If you define default data sets through the EDITOR parameter, you do not need to pre-allocate them to individual TSO users. You can also centrally control program versions and optional editor parameters.
Only the primary CA‑GSS address space provides the editor's data sets to the IMOD editor. Secondary CA‑GSS address spaces store the specified values internally. These values are retrieved when the editor's LINK command is being processed.
EDITOR values are used only if both of the following conditions are met:

CA‑GSS is initialized. (You can initialize it by executing GSSLOAD or by starting GSSMAIN. Once initialized, CA‑GSS is available until the next IPL.)
- TSO users have not pre-allocated the IMOD editor's data sets.
