Using VTAM Modeling Statements › Set Up the Batch Job for VTAM Modeling Statement Support › Use the *TPX,MDL Statement

Use the *TPX,MDL Statement

The *TPX,MDL statement causes the following flow of events:

• A *TPX,MDL statement is read and validated. This becomes the active model until another *TPX,MDL statement is encountered.
• Each VTAM APPL statement is checked to see if the LU name (label) field contains any wildcards (* or ?). If there is an ACBNAME parameter on the APPL statement, it is also checked for wildcards.
• The Batch process generates the appropriate number of APPL statements substituting the values from the control sets on the *TPX,MDL statement, for the wildcards in the LU name and ACBNAME fields.
• The generated APPL statements, and comment statements showing the LU name and ACBNAME model formats are inserted where the VTAM model was encountered, in the SYSUT2 data set.
• All records read from the SYSIN data set as well as generated APPL statements and errors are also written to the SYSOUT data set allocated as LOG.
