Maintaining Library Definitions

Option L from the MODS : Panel Library Maintenance Menu displays the MODS : Library Definition Menu.

This menu can be used to define a library temporarily (for example, if you want to copy panels to or from a panels data set defined to another system). If you require a permanently available library, you should define it by using the PANELLIBS parameter group.

To make a library available for use, the data set must be allocated to the product region, opened, and defined as a library. These steps can be performed using the ALLOC, UDBCTL OPEN, and LIBRARY commands respectively.

The MODS : Library Definition Menu, shown in the following sample, provides facilities for performing these steps, and for reversing them, without the need for you to issue any commands.
