Dataview Parameter Definition

The dataview parameter definition describes the VSAM file corresponding to the dataview. Parameter data is specified on the following Dataview Parameter fill‑in:

=> => => -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IDEAL: DVW PARAMETERS DVW EMPMASTER (001) TEST SYS: DOC FILL‑IN File Organization KSDS (KSDS|ESDS|RRDS) Update Intent Y (Y=Yes, N=No) Filename VSAMDVW

The fields on the dataview parameter fill‑in are as follows:

File Organization Enter one of the following:

KSDS-Key‑sequenced data set

ESDS-Entry‑sequenced data set

RRDS-Relative record data set

The default is KSDS. If you enter a value other than one of the three above, the last valid value in the field is used.

Update Intent Enter one of the following:

Y-The default, updates the data set using this dataview.

N-Prevents the data set from being updated using this dataview.

Filename Enter one of the following:

z/OS-The ddname of the base cluster

VSE-DLBL file name of the base cluster

Depending on the Operating System entry on the Identification fill‑in, you can enter up to eight characters for a z/OS file name and up to seven characters for a VSE filename.

If you do not supply a file name, the name defaults to VSAMDVW.

Note: You must be sure that the CA Ideal startup JCL contains a DD or DLBL statement for each VSAM file used in CA Ideal. For CICS, you must also be sure that an FCT entry that corresponds to the filename of the base cluster is included for each VSAM file.
