To use online base calendar maintenance, the CA WA CA 7 Edition calendar PDS must be defined to CA WA CA 7 Edition through the CALENDAR statement in the CA WA CA 7 Edition initialization file (see the Systems Programming Guide).
Base calendars are automatically added to the CA WA CA 7 Edition calendar PDS when:
A CALBLK statement is included in the CA WA CA 7 Edition initialization file and the load module copy exists but the PDS has no copy.
A reference is made to a base calendar and the PDS has no copy, the load module does not exist, but the corresponding PCALYYxx member does exist in the PCDSN.
An ADD function is performed from the online base calendar maintenance facility.
If you have assembled and link edited a new copy of a calendar and want to propagate it to the CA WA CA 7 Edition calendar PDS, use the REFRESH function. This replaces the existing copy in the CA WA CA 7 Edition calendar PDS with a new converted copy of the load library version.
If you have modified the perpetual calendar criteria of an existing calendar, and want to regenerate the calendar with the new criteria, use the REFRESH function. This function replaces the current calendar with a calendar generated from the updated criteria. Be aware that if an assembled and link edited version of this calendar exists in the load library, the assembled and link edited version is used.
Base calendars that reside in the CA WA CA 7 Edition calendar PDS do not require a CALBLK statement in the CA WA CA 7 Edition initialization file.
Calendars with nonstandard names can be created using the online base calendar maintenance facility and used as patterns or models to create standard base calendars. All calendars stored in the CA WA CA 7 Edition calendar PDS must have valid PDS member names (one to eight characters starting with an alpha or national character).
The DELETE function removes the specified calendar from the CA WA CA 7 Edition calendar PDS ONLY. It has no effect on a load module copy of the same calendar.
To list all calendar names in the CA WA CA 7 Edition calendar PDS, issue the following topline command:
