Customizing the CA IDMS Extractor Environment--USVTPARM

The CA IDMS Extractor customization macro gives you the ability to change the following operational parameters:

• The task code used to invoke CA IDMS Extractor.
• The dictionary into which the CA IDMS Extractor online documentation modules were loaded at installation.
• The number of entries to allocate for the CA IDMS Extractor set stack.
• From whom a user can copy other JCL members and Selection Criteria Specifications.
• The default for the RETAIN PHYSICAL SEQUENCE OF MEMBER RECORDS IN THE SET? field on the Record Level Selection Criteria screen.
• The default for the EXTRACT ALL OWNERS FOR EXTRACTED RECURSIVE RECORDS? field on the Record Level Selection Criteria screen.
• The default for the BEGIN VIEWING/EDITING IN THE MIDDLE OF A PATH DEFINITION? field on the Specify Database Extract Specification screen.
• Whether to have message NLYZ008 be a warning (W) message or an error (E) message. NLYZ008 is displayed at extract time when a mandatory member is being extracted without its owner. An error message prevents the Selection Criteria Specification from being used.

These runtime options can be changed at anytime after initial product installation, either before or after SMP/E ACCEPT (z/OS ) or MSHP (z/VSE) processing. See the CA IDMS installation guide for your operating system for detailed instructions on processing customization macro changes.
