-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Use the CA MICS Data Sets for ISPF Applications panel to
specify the CA MICS ISPF tables data set name (the
sharedprefix.MICS.ISPTLIB data set), the complex level data
set naming conventions, and conventions for naming user level
data sets (private catalogs).


DATA ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS

CA MICS sharedprefix - Required. No default. 1-19 character
data set name prefix.  This is the data set name prefix for
shared (or CA MICS complex level) data sets.

High level qualifier for user data set names - Optional.  No
default.  1-8 characters.

  o Private (user level) CA MICS data set names are generated
    with the user's TSO prefix or TSO logon-id (if prefix =
    logon-id) as the high level qualifier (e.g.,
    DSN=userid.MICS.USER.TABLES).

  o Specify this parameter if your installation conventions
    require a high level data set name qualifier other than
    the user's prefix or logon-id (e.g.,
    DSN=xxxxxxxx.userid.MICS.USER.TABLES).

  o You may also specify an ISPF variable name from the
    shared pool if you store the non-userid prefix into this
    variable before invoking MWF.  Specify ?name where name
    is the shared pool variable name that contains the high
    level qualifier.

  o The CA MICS user data set name prefix is derived as
    follows:

     - If High level qualifier is specified, then DSN prefix
       is xxxxxxxx.userid where xxxxxxxx is the high level
       qualifier value.

     - Else, if the TSO prefix is different from userid, then
       DSN prefix is pppppppp.userid where pppppppp is the
       TSO user prefix.

     - Else, DSN prefix is userid.

Include "MICS." in data set names - Required.  Defaults to
YES.  Specify YES (or Y) to generate default data set names
with "MICS." as a data set name index level
(DSN=sharedprefix.MICS....).  Specify NO (or N) to construct
default data set names without "MICS." as a data set name
index level (DSN=sharedprefix.....).

CA MICS ISPF tables data set - Required.  Default value is
derived from your specifications for the CA MICS sharedprefix
and Include "MICS." in data set names parameters (e.g.,
'sharedprefix.MICS.ISPTLIB').  1-44 character fully qualified
data set name enclosed in quotes.  This is the name of the
data set containing the CA MICS ISPF tables (i.e., the
CA MICS ISPTLIB data set).

The following four fields are for display purposes only and
cannot be updated.  These DDNAMEs are essential to successful
CA MICS processing.

  o Table input DDNAME - ISPTLIB.  This is the ddname used
    for reading ISPF tables.

  o Read-only table input DDNAME - MWFTLIBR.  This is the
    ddname used for read-only access to ISPF tables.  The
    ISPF tables data set name is dynamically concatenated to
    a temporary data set allocated to this ddname (this
    prevents enqueue lock-outs for read-only access).

  o Table output DDNAME - MWFTABL.  This is the ddname used
    for updating ISPF tables.  The ISPF tables data set is
    dynamically allocated to this ddname.

  o User tables DDNAME - MWFUTABL.  The private (or user
    level) ISPF tables data set is dynamically allocated to
    this ddname.
