2.4.7.4.7 Alternate Input File Panel
The Alternate Input File panel allows you to specify a SAS
file that is not a part of the CA MICS online database
as input to the inquiry. You must specify the MVS data set
name and the individual SAS data set names.
The optional input file is used to read data from a
previously created work file. Creating a work file allows
data being selected from the CA MICS database to be saved
for later use. Reading this previously saved work file
is then possible in a subsequent run of the inquiry.
The Alternate Input File panel requires that all named
CA MICS equivalent files be specified. If a named file does
not exist, you can code any name so long as there is no file
in your SAS library by that name (e.g., NONE). In this case,
BAT_ST and BAT_TS may not be needed or are already contained
in the alternate BATPGM File (saved selected output from a
previous running of this inquiry).
The alternate equivalent CA MICS BATJOB and BAT_JS are
specified only if you want to merge these files to obtain
access to the JOBCLASS, JOBMCLS, JOBINQTM, or JOBFETTM data
elements. These fields can be left blank if they are not
needed.
