Control File Maintenance

This section provides a brief description of each of the parameters you can use to control the compression process. For more information about the parameters and their values, see Control File Maintenance Utility in the CA Compress Reference Guide.

There are two levels of line commands in control file maintenance. One level applies to data sets and the next lower level applies to data set associations.

• Data set—B (Browse), D (Delete), and S (Select)
• Data set association (VSAM only)—A (Add), R (Rename), and D (Delete)

This function requires that the CA Compress subsystem be active. The Control File Maintenance function lets you view or change the CA Compress Control File. Data sets can be added, FDTs can be registered, or patterns excluded.
