Example: Preventing Attribute Changes

Suppose that you want EDIF to perform the following types of processing for partitioned data sets:

Detect attempts to change the block size or record format attributes, using those in the DSCB of the data set for comparison
Ignore the logical record length attribute
Ignore carriage control characters in the record format
Exempt programs listed on the UTILITY statement named ISPF from attribute verification
Record attempted updates in an SMF record
Abend programs that try to change these attributes for the SYS1.LINKLIB data set only

To do this, specify the following statements in the EDIPARMS member:

DSORG NAME=PARTITIONED OPTION=(ATTRIBUTES,SMF,IGNORECC),
    EXEMPT(UTILITY(ISPF)) LRECL=ANY

DATASET NAME=SYS1.LINKLIB OPTION=ABEND
