Parmlib Members › General Members › GROUPS

GROUPS

The GROUPS parmlib member is used to create a list of similar items and then group them logically. Each logical group has an associated type that defines the type of members that can be in the group. A benefit of creating logical groups is that you can reference a list of items by a single name.

Following are some examples of groups that can be defined:

• A logical group of CICS MRO regions
• Logical groups for use by the System Condition Monitor
• A logical group of DASD volumes for exception processing
