(MII) SUFFIX Statement-Apply EDIF Processing Options to Data Sets with Specific Suffix

The SUFFIX statement lets you apply a set of EDIF processing options to all data sets that have a specified suffix in their data set names. This statement is available when you are running the EDIF of the CA MII component.

This command has the following format:

SUFFIX NAME=suffix  [ACCESSLIST(options)]
                    [AUTHORIZED(options)]
                    [BLKSIZE=option]
                    [CHECKEXCLUSIVE(options)]
                    [DSORG=option]
                    [EXEMPT(options)]
                    [LRECL=option]
                    [OPTION(options)]
                    [RECFM=option]

ACCESSLIST

(Optional) Identifies programs that are authorized to read these data sets. You can specify the same values for the ACCESSLIST parameter on any EDIF processing statement on which this parameter is available.

AUTHORIZED

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

BLKSIZE

(Optional) Indicates what block size value EDIF should use during attribute verification. You can specify the same values for the BLKSIZE parameter on any EDIF processing statement on which this parameter is available.

CHECKEXCLUSIVE

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

DSORG

(Optional) Indicates what data set organization EDIF should use during attribute verification. You can specify the same values as those for the DSORG parameter on the DATASET 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.

LRECL

(Optional) Indicates what logical record length EDIF should use during attribute verification. You can specify the same values for the LRECL parameter on any EDIF processing statement on which this parameter is available.

NAME

Identifies the data sets to which you are applying these options. Specify a suffix that identifies these data sets in place of the suffix variable.

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.

RECFM

(Optional) Indicates what record format EDIF should use during attribute verification. You can specify the same values for the RECFM parameter on any EDIF processing statement on which this parameter is available.

Usage Notes: SUFFIX Statement

• The SUFFIX statement can be specified only in the EDIPARMS member of the MIMPARMS data set.
• You can negate options on DEFAULT, DSORG, and PREFIX statements by specifying options that have the NO prefix. For example, you can negate the ABEND option on a PREFIX statement by specifying OPTION=NOABEND on a SUFFIX statement.
• 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 SUFFIX statements apply to many data sets, you should choose options carefully. Until you have done some preliminary testing, we recommend that you do not specify these options on a SUFFIX statement:

  OPTION(ENQUEUE,WAIT)

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

  OPTION(UTILITY,ABEND)

  Abends tasks that are not authorized to update data sets.

  OPTION(ATTRIBUTES,ABEND)

  Abends tasks that are not allowed to change data set attributes.

  OPTION(ACCESSCHECK,ABEND)

  Checks read authority for each of these data sets.

Examples: SUFFIX Statement

• To negate all options enabled on DEFAULT, DSORG, and PREFIX statements for data sets that have the suffix .LIST, specify this statement in the EDIPARMS member:

  SUFFIX NAME=.LIST OPTION=NONE
  

• Suppose that you want EDIF to perform this processing for data sets that have the suffix .LOAD:
  • Allow only PDF and load library utilities to update these data sets.
  • Issue messages when other tasks try to update these data sets and then abend these tasks.
  • To achieve these effects, specify this statement in the EDIPARMS member:

    SUFFIX NAME=.LOAD OPTION(UTILITY,ABEND),
        AUTHORIZED(UTILITY(ISPF,LOADLIB))
