USING Keyword—Model ACID

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

Use the USING keyword to create an ACID of the same type using an existing ACID as a model.

The model acid information available from a TSS LIST(modelacid) DATA(BASIC,TSO) is copied to the ACID in the CREATE USING command along with the TSO DFLT, SMS, CICS, OMVS, and WORKATTR DATA information. The model must exist before copies are created from it.

Note: In addition to the information from TSS LIST DATA(BASIC), the TSO DFLT DATA information and password information are also copied. If the ACID has a PHRASE assigned to it the PHRASE is not copied.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS CREATE(newacid) USING(modelacid)

This keyword is used with:

• The command CREATE
• The ACID types User, Profile, DEPARTMENT, ZONE, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
• All rules of scope and administrative authority are supported. If the model ACID is outside the scope of the administrator or has an information field which requires an ADMIN authority that the administrator does not have, the CREATE function fails.
