Several methods of adding data sets to the database are available. The primary method is accomplished through the LOAD process. When a job is loaded, all data set names referenced in the JCL are added to the database if those names are not already in the database. If the LOADDSNS keyword is used on the DBASE statement in the initialization file, the LOAD process does not build any DD or data set information for jobs that are marked MAINT=Y on the DB.1 (JOB) panel.
Data sets can also be added to the database by using the DB.6 panel ADD function.
If data set information exists in machine-readable form, a program can be written to perform the DB.6 panel functions with batch commands and the Batch Terminal Interface (BTI) facility. For further details on BTI, see the Interface Reference Guide.
Once a data set is added to the database, CA WA CA 7 Edition assigns a unique eight-digit number to the data set, referred to as a DSNBR. You can then reference the data set by that number. This method eliminates the need to enter a long data set name each time that CA WA CA 7 Edition commands and panels reference a data set.
