Input

The Data Management Utility reads input statements that control the functions performed against the DMU job accounting data set. The first statement read is the SETUP statement. All remaining statements define the update action required.

The SETUP statement is required and must be the first statement read by the DMU program. This statement is identified by a blank statement type and action code (positions 1-2).

• The run date field is used as the header date on the top of each page of the control report produced by the DMU program. This defaults to the current date.
• The run type is a five-character, alphanumeric keyword that defines the type of run requested. The valid keywords and their functions are:
  • UPDAT for modifying old data sets
  • BUILD for creating new data sets
  • MERGE for combining old data sets

  If omitted, the run type defaults to the UPDAT mode.

The following is an example of a typical SETUP statement:

position   1    1    2
  1...5....0....5....0
    03/15/94BUPDAT

The updated file is written on one output file. The control report header reflects the indicated run date.
