Panel Field Descriptions

Option members for additional impacting members

Optional. Length: 1-8. Type: alphanumeric.

If you want the input to the Impact Analysis to be supplemented with members that are not defined to your Move Request, specify each member name in a Configuration Manager Option member. Enter the name of that option member in this field. This name is retained with the Move Request, and it reappears on this panel if you request another IA MSL for the same Move Request. This name is also used during the Impact Analysis Verification Procedure.

Edit this member using the ISPF editor by entering EDIT on the Command line, placing the cursor on this field (which should have the member name entered already), and pressing ENTER. The data set this member resides on was specified by an administrator during the Configuration Manager setup, and it is stored on the Control File.

While any Configuration Manager option statements can be specified in this member, the only proper ones to specify are “-s:” option statements. The syntax is “-s:” followed by the member name, a period, and the Library Code and subcode names (separated by a / if the subcode is non-blank). There should be no embedded spaces.

For example, to supplement the input with member MAIN of Library Code SRC, and member COMMON of Library Code SRC/CPY, use the following statements:

-s:MAIN.SRC
-s:COMMON.SRC/CPY

Regular expressions (wildcards) can be used in these names. See the CA-Pan/LCM Configuration Manager User Guide for information about the syntax for regular expressions.

Option members for restricting impacted members

Optional. Length: 1-8. Type: alphanumeric.

If you want the output to the Impact Analysis to be restricted to certain members based on their names or Library Codes, you can specify the restricting member names and Library Codes in a Configuration Manager Option member. Enter the name of the option member in this field. This name is retained with the Move Request, and it reappears on this panel if you request another IA MSL for the same Move Request. This name is also used during the Impact Analysis Verification Procedure.

Edit this member using the ISPF editor by entering EDIT on the Command line, placing the cursor on this field (which should have the member name entered already), and pressing ENTER. The data set this member resides on was specified by an administrator during the Configuration Manager setup, and it is stored on the Control File.

While any Configuration Manager option statements can be specified in this member, the only proper ones to specify are “-a:” option statements. The syntax is “-a:” followed by the member name, a period, and the Library Code and subcode names (separated by a / if the subcode is non-blank). There should be no embedded spaces. Regular expressions (wildcards) can be used in these names. In fact, if you wish to restrict by Library Code name you must use regular expressions. See the CA-Pan/LCM Configuration Manager User Guide for information about the syntax for regular expressions.

For example, to restrict the output to only OBJECT and LOAD modules, specify Library Codes that are for these types of members. If you use Library subcodes OBJ and EXE for these types, use the following statements:

-a:*.*/OBJ
-a:*.*/EXE
Show Impact Analysis messages

Required. Valid values: Y (Yes) or N (No).

When specified as Y, messages from the CA-Pan/LCM Configuration Manager program AMKLIST are displayed on your TSO terminal. Normally this is undesirable because it breaks out of ISPF full panel mode and does not show anything useful. However, if there is some type of error, you need to change this field to Y to be able to see what it is.
