Specifying Generation Options (DBCVTPR) › CA Datacom CICS Services Generation Options (DBCVTPR) › PREFIX=

PREFIX=

(Optional) Specifies the prefix to be used for URT names. CA Datacom CICS Services creates URT module names with the value assigned to PREFIX= suffixed by a 3-digit number starting with 001 and ending with a number equal to the specified MAXURTS= value.

Note: Because, beginning in r11, the maximum valid value for MAXURTS= became 9999, the PREFIX= parameter has been updated as follows. For User Requirements Table numbers above 999, the fifth character of the 5-character prefix is translated to 1 (one) for URTs in the range 1000-1999, translated to 2 (two) for URTs in the range 2000-2999, and so on for deriving the load name of a User Requirements Table.

Sites that have previously defined a prefix with 1 through 9 as the last character of the 5-character prefix should modify their specification for the PREFIX= parameter and the appropriate URT load module names prior to upgrading.

For details about modifying this parameter for the current CICS session, see Changing Generation Options Online (DBOC GENOPTS). You can also use the DBOC PREFIX= command to modify this specification for the current CICS session, as described in the User Guide.
