FDTNAME Keyword—FDT Record Field Names

Valid on z/OS, z/VM, and z/VSE.

Use the FDTNAME keyword to:

• List data from the FDT Record about how the specified field is processed
• Add or remove user‑defined field names to or from the FDT Record

When used with LIST, this keyword has the following format:

TSS LIST(FDT) FDTNAME(fieldname)

When used with ADDTO, this keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(FDT) FDTNAME(fieldname)
               FDTCODE(hex code)
               MAXLEN(nnnnn)

fieldname

Specifies the field.

Length: 1 to 8 characters.

Capacity: One resource class per command

Notes:

• FDTNAME, FDTCODE, and MAXLEN are required when adding a resource to the FDT Record.
• To prevent any possibility of your field name conflicting with any future CA Top Secret resources, include either a numeric (0 to 9) or a national ($ # @) in the FDTNAME name.
• The first four characters of all field names must be unique and cannot conflict with any dynamically‑defined or predefined field name.
• Fields can be removed from the FDT even if a user ACID contains those fields. If a new FDT entry is defined using the same FDTCODE, the results are unpredictable. A TSS LIST of a user ACID removes any field information no longer in the FDT.

This keyword is used with:

• The commands REPLACE, LIST, ADDTO, and REMOVE
• The FDT only
• MISC1(RDT) authority to ADDTO or REMOVE field names in the FDT Record
• MISC1(RDT) or MISC8(LISTRDT) authority to LIST the FDT Record

               MAXLEN(11)

This example removes $PERSDEPT from the FDT Record:

TSS REMOVE(FDT) FDTNAME($PERSDEPT)
