Removal of Selected Data Set Numbers (DSNBRs)

Data set numbers, DSNBRs, are used to index selected elements in CA WA CA 7 Edition. With this version, the data set numbers for networks and schedules are removed, leaving only data set and prose DSNBRs. Thus, any DSNBR beginning with NW (network), SI (input network schedule), SJ (job schedule), and SO (output network schedule) are not used or displayed. This change has command and data output implications as follows:

Commands

• For the networks, the LNTWK,DSNBR= is removed because networks have no DSNBR. Use LNTWK, NW=xxx or LNTWK,DSN=NW.xxx instead. xxx represents the network name.
• Also, the LCTLG,DSN=NW. is removed. Use the LNTWK,DSN=NW. instead to display the stations that are associated with a network. Use the SQL sample member AL2NWO to list the last three executions of a network.

  Note: For more information, see the Report Reference Guide.

• Before this release, the LCTLG,DSN=AUTO.NWnnnnnn command listed information about jobs that networks trigger. nnnnnn was a network number. The new format of the DSN keyword for networks is DSN=AUTO.NW.networkname.
• For the schedules, the LSCHD,DSNBR= is removed. Also, LSCHD,STN=station is removed.
• Network DSNBRs are removed from select panels. All references are by network name.

Note: For more information, see the Command Reference Guide.

Screens

• Some screens displayed a schedule number. Now the screen displays one of the following terms:

  YES when the job or network is scheduled.

  NO when the job or network is not scheduled.

Note: For more information, see the Database Maintenance Guide.
