A.3.3 ORGSYSID Selection

The input data processed by a SPECIAL database may be
selected from a composite file of input data that contains
data from more systems than the user wishes to process.  The
method used to treat the low volume of such occurrences for a
regular, production database is to code a user input
selection exit that causes unwanted records to be dropped.

SPECIAL databases are more susceptible to such selection of
data.  Therefore, there exists a facility that can be used to
define a list of system IDs to process in the DAILY update
for the SPECIAL database.  This is accomplished by user
specification of the ORGSYSID statement in the SPECIAL
database unit's parameter library member EXECDEF.

Only one ORGSYSID statement is allowed in EXECDEF.  The
ORGSYSID statement may contain a list of up to ten original
system IDs.  The ORGSYSID statement will cause the DAILY
update to perform as if you had coded the desired system
selection in each component's input selection mechanism.  The
system identifiers listed on the statement must be the
ORIGINAL SMF system IDs (see the CA MICS data element
ORGSYSID).  A typical implementation example is:
