Storing and Acessing Parameters Under z/OS

To store parameters as a member of a PDS, use a utility program such as IEBGENER. The JCL statements follow:

IEBGENER (z/OS)

//    EXEC  PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=A
//SYSUT1    DD  DSN=sequential.data.set,DISP=(OLD,KEEP)
//SYSUT2    DD  DSN=culprit.srclib,DISP=(OLD,KEEP)
//SYSIN     DD  *
   GENERATE MAXNAME=1
   MEMBER NAME=member-name
/*
//

culprit.srclib

PDS into which CA Culprit parameters are to be copied and stored

member-name

name under which parameters are to be copied in the PDS

sequential.data.set

name of the sequential data set containing CA Culprit parameters to be copied

At run time, submit the name of the PDS in the //CULLIB DD job control parameter, as shown in Appendix C, Execution JCL. CA Culprit will search the named library for the member specified on the USE parameter, =COPY parameter, or =MACRO parameter.

IDD

To store parameters as modules in the CA IDMS/DB Integrated Data Dictionary (IDD), see the CA IDMS IDD DDDL Reference Guide. At run time, submit the name of the data dictionary and its associated journal file(s) in the appropriate DD job control statements, as shown in Appendix C, Execution JCL. CA Culprit retrieves the module specified on the USE parameter, =COPY parameter, or =MACRO parameter from the named data dictionary.
