(MII) DEFAULT Statement (for EDIF)-Globally Apply EDIF Processing Options

The EDIF DEFAULT statement lets you apply a set of EDIF processing options to all data sets. This statement is available when you are running the EDIF of the CA MII component.

This command has the following format:

DEFAULT [AUTHORIZED(options)]
        [CHECKEXCLUSIVE(options)]
        [EXEMPT(options)]
        [OPTION(options)]

AUTHORIZED

(Optional) Identifies programs that are authorized to update data sets. You can specify the same values for the AUTHORIZED parameter on any EDIF processing statement.

CHECKEXCLUSIVE

(Optional) Identifies programs that cannot update data sets when those data sets are allocated with DISP=SHR. You can specify the same values for the CHECKEXCLUSIVE parameter on any EDIF processing statement.

EXEMPT

(Optional) Identifies programs that are exempted from attribute verification. You can specify the same values for the EXEMPT parameter on any EDIF processing statement.

OPTION

(Optional) Indicates what processing options EDIF should apply to these data sets.

You can specify any combination of the following values:

• ABEND
• ACCESSCHECK
• ATTRIBUTES
• CONFLICTMESSAGES
• ENQUEUE
• IGNORECC
• SMF | RECORD
• SUPPRESSMESSAGES
• UTILITY
• WAIT

You also can specify values that negate these options (for example, NOABEND, NOACCESSCHECK, NONE, and so on). Values that you specify on the same statement cannot be mutually exclusive.

Usage Notes: DEFAULT Statement

• You must specify at least one parameter for this statement.
• The DEFAULT statement can be specified only in the EDIPARMS member of the MIMPARMS data set.
• You can override options on the DEFAULT statement with other EDIF processing statements.
• Defaults for most EDIF statements, when not specified, depend on how they are used with other statements.
• Note: For more information, see the chapter “Advanced Topics” in the CA MII Programming Guide.
• Because processing options on a DEFAULT statement apply to all data sets choose options carefully. We recommend that you do not specify these options on a DEFAULT statement:

  OPTION(ENQUEUE,WAIT)

  This places jobs in a wait state when a requested data set is unavailable.

  OPTION(UTILITY,ABEND)

  This abends tasks that are not authorized to update data sets.

  OPTION(ATTRIBUTES,ABEND)

  This abends tasks that are not allowed to change data set attributes.

  OPTION(ACCESSCHECK,ABEND)

  This abends tasks that are not authorized to read data sets.

  For more information, see the description of the DATASET Statement.

Example: DEFAULT Statement (EDIF)

Suppose that you want EDIF to perform this processing for all data sets:

• Issue conflict messages if several users or jobs simultaneously open a data set for update.
• Record data set conflicts, attribute violations, and utility violations in an SMF record.
• Exempt programs SAS, SASLIB, SASLPA, and MIMDRGBN from attribute verification.
• Prevent programs NOSHARE1 and NOSHARE2 from updating data sets when DISP=SHR is specified in their JCL.

To achieve these results, specify this statement in the EDIPARMS member:

DEFAULT OPTION(UTILITY,ENQUEUE,ATTRIBUTES,SMF, 
   CONFLICTMESSAGES) EXEMPT(PROGRAM(SAS,SASLIB,SASLPA, 
   MIMDRGBN)) CHECKEXCLUSIVE(PROGRAM(NOSHARE1,NOSHARE2))
