Input Specification Parameters

You must specify the input data set using the keyword parameters DDNAME and DSNAME, or as the first positional parameter for the DSPRINT and PRINTOFF commands.

DDNAME

Instructs the program to use an already-allocated data set as input. This parameter can be used if a concatenated data set is to be processed. In batch execution, the data set must be allocated by a DD statement. In TSO execution, the data set must be allocated either in the logon procedure, or by using the ALLOCATE command before executing ESFPRINT.

DSNAME

Instructs the program to dynamically allocate the data set to be processed.
