      └─ SEARCH = ──┬─ loadAREA ◄ ─┬─┘
                    └─ loadLIB ────┘

Parameters

loadAREA

Specifies that ADSORPTS searches for the dialogs and applications in the load area.

LOADAREA is the default when neither LOADAREA OR LOADLIB is specified.

loadLIB

Specifies that ADSORPTS searches for the dialogs and applications in the load (core-image) library.

Usage

Considerations

• If more than one SEARCH statement is submitted for a single run of ADSORPTS, the specification in the last SEARCH statement applies for the entire run.
• The DIALOGS and APPLICATIONS statements cannot specify a range of dialog or application names (such as low-dialog-name - high-dialog-name) or a dialog or application mask (such as dialog-mask-value).
• The load (core-image) libraries in which the dialogs and applications are located must be specified in the JCL or commands that run the reports, as follows:
  • z/OS JCL

    In the CDMSLIB statement or, if a CDMSLIB statement is not specified, in the STEPLIB statement

  • z/VSE JCL

    In the ASSGN/EXTNT statement for the private core-image library or in the LIBDEF equivalent

  • z/VM commands

    In the GLOBAL LOADLIB command, added to the list of libraries
