Specifying the Name of an OPSLOG Data Set

On the Archive OPSLOG panel, identify the data set to which you want to copy the active OPSLOG. Follow these guidelines:

• Use either of these methods to name the data set:
  • Enter the name of the OPSLOG data set in the Data Set Name field, but do not specify any data set allocation information. The archive creation program uses appropriate defaults.
  • Enter the name of the OPSLOG data set in the Data Set Name field, and specify any desired allocation information in the fields on the lower part of the panel. For descriptions of the fields, see Fields on the Archive OPSLOG Panel in this chapter.
• If you enter a fully qualified data set name, enclose it in single quotes. If you omit the single quotes, CA OPS/MVS uses your TSO user ID as a prefix for the data set name.
• If you are specifying an existing data set that you want to reuse, enter Y in the Reuse Data set field.
• Your archived OPSLOG data sets should reside on permanently resident DASD devices.

After you make entries into all of the desired fields, press Enter and the Archive OPSLOG Filter panel appears. For details, see The Archive OPSLOG Filter Panel in this chapter.
