 Figure 2-113. IOA DASD Skew Analysis Report Alternate Input File Panel

This panel allows you to specify a SAS file that is not a
part of the standard CA MICS online database as input to the
IOA Analysis routines.  You must specify one or more
indicated SAS file names and an MVS data set name.  If you do
not enclose the data set name in single quotes, your TSO
prefix (or user ID) is added as the first portion of the data
set name.

The Alternate Input File Panel requires that all named
CA MICS equivalent files be specified.  If a named file does
not exist, you may code any name so long as there is no file
in your SAS library by that name (e.g., NONE).  In this case,
HARPCA and SCPLCA are only present in an MVS/XA environment.
If you are not running MVS/XA, then you will have to enter
these two files as NONE.
