The CA Repository for z/OS stores definitions about metadata objects so that you can track how those objects relate to other objects. Because an Assembler program's data definitions are internal to the program, changes to a data definition typically do not affect any other metadata object. For this reason, the DBXSCNC loader does not add data definitions when it is creating instances.
However, because some organizations do wish to store this information, the CA Repository Exchange for Assembler scanners capture data definitions used by a program and writes them to the COPYTEXT file. After using the scanner to scan a program, but before loading the program definitions using DBXSCNC, you can load the data definitions in the COPYTEXT file. While the remainder of the program data is loading, DBXSCNC tries to resolve data references.
To load the COPYTEXT file, use the CA Repository for z/OS Copybook Import Facility as described in the CA Repository for z/OS Copybook Interface User Guide. When using this tool, specify the name of the COPYTEXT file as Input Data Set. This is an optional step-you do not need to load the information in the COPYTEXT file unless you want to store information about internal program storage definitions.
