VSE/ESA File Assignments

Even if you use a storage management tool such as BrightStor CA-Dynam/T Tape Management for VSE, CA IDMS/DB Analyzer requires an ASSGN statement for every file except SORTWKnn (including STAT1, STAT2, LDEL, and diagnostics files). This ASSGN is required because CA IDMS/DB Analyzer has its own device-independent support which dynamically builds a DTF based on the device type indicated by the ASSGN. Unless the ASSIGN specifies VSAM or BDAM, the file may be defined with either DLBL or TLBL.
