The SASSDT70 program accepts two parameter values. The first parameter, REPORT, indicates that this is a report run only. The DT70ADDS file will not be generated; however, a report will be produced. The SASSDT72-01 ARFSET Extract Report displays the ARFSET definitions for the CA WA CA 7 Edition Batch Terminal Interface commands that would have been generated if this had been an actual run.

The second parameter, ALLSETS indicates that all ARFSETs will be extracted for this run. This allows bypassing the selection of specific ARFSETs using the SYSIN DD control cards. If the ALLSETS PARM is coded, any control cards found in the SYSIN DD are ignored.

//jobname job ..........
//  EXEC PGM=SASSDT70,PARM='REPORT'

//jobname job ..........
//  EXEC PGM=SASSDT70,PARM='REPORT,ALLSETS'

The SYSIN DD * file in the JCL allows selection of a specific ARFSET from the ARF database component. The keyword ARFSET= is used to specify a fully qualified or generic ARFSET name. A generic ARFSET name can be specified by coding an asterisk (*) on the trailing end of the qualifying set name characters. At least one character is required. Comments may be included in the SYSIN DD file by coding an asterisk in the first column (col. 1). The number of control cards that can be specified is limited only by the amount of memory available to the program.

//SYSIN   DD *

* Comment card (asterisk column 1)
* The following control card selects any ARFSET with the
* first three characters of PRD.
ARFSET=PRD*

* The following control card selects ARFSET TEST only.
ARFSET=TEST

* The following control cards selects any ARFSET which begins
*with the letter Z.
