Naming the primary shadow area data set

The primary shadow data set becomes the online area data set when the restructure process is completed.

The SHADOW_SUFFIX keyword identifies the 1-character to 8-character suffix to be appended to the original area data set name to form the name of the primary shadow area data set. The default is Z.

The combined length of the original area data set and the suffix (including the period used as the separator) cannot exceed 44 characters. This requirement applies to both the cluster name and to the data component name.

The value for the SHADOW_SUFFIX keyword is written to the Restructure Plan data set. The primary shadow area data set names that are defined in the Prepare function are processed by the Shadow Initialization, Restructure, and Restart functions.
