Field 3 — Function Specification

This field is a list of CA Disk functions that a user or user group is authorized to use. Function codes are seven characters and can be abbreviated to the first three characters. Commas, not by spaces, must separate functions. Up to 150 characters of functions can be specified using the continuation rules of CA Disk parmlib entries. The last function code is followed by a single quote.

The following is a list codes and their valid specifiable functions:

ALL

Indicates that all functions are to be assumed for this specification. In specifying the ALL function, all features are assumed. For any function that has not been licensed, subsequent use of the ISPF option to invoke it can result in abends looking for routines you do not have. If applicable, this value should be specified alone in field 3 of the statement.

ADSINDX

ISPF foreground function: allow user to list change expiration dates and delete entries for archived data sets. (If the delete function is requested for an index record associated with a RACF-protected data set for which a discrete profile has been saved, authorization of the ISPF session is required. This can be accomplished if you have a user SVC to obtain authorization, and indicate it to CA Disk by sysparm RADELSVC. If this cannot be provided, give your users the CDSINDX function instead of this one.)

Since there are more options available than menu lines on a screen, it is sometimes necessary for CA Disk to implement two levels of menus. This occurs when more than 15 options are given to any user. If a user has fewer than 15 options, all options will be displayed on one selection menu. If more than 15 options are specified, the first menu will display a list of functional categories from which the user must select. Once this has been specified, a second menu will be displayed with the appropriate functions listed.

When specifying user options, the CA Disk installation coordinator considers carefully what options to give each user. Several of the options are similar to each other, and are supplied to give the installation flexibility in distributing functions. Every user does not need every function available. The distributed sample members SAMPSPFO and SAMPDMCO attempts to eliminate this duplication of function, but users have different requirements and need to have different options specified.

In addition, remove any options to which you do not want your users to have access. If your installation has not implemented the CA Disk archive/backup tape pool facility, it should also be removed from the menu display.

The sample options members SAMPSPFO and SAMPDMCO supplied with your system are already set up with entries that can be further tailored for your installation. If you have not already done so, copy them in to create members SPFOPTNS and DMCOPTNS. Two sample entries exist in the member SAMPSPFO. The first entry specifies the ISPF functions that are normally given to all CA Disk users. The second entry specifies the ISPF functions that are to be given to only those persons responsible for DASD management.

The two entries are shown in the following illustration:
