Setting data set options

The defaults specified on the Datasets panel are used to access the associated data sets as follows:

• If the data set name is enclosed in single quotation marks, the name is used as is.
• If the data set name contains any ISPF variables (such as &ZPREFIX ), the variables are substituted before the data set is allocated.
• If the data set name has no apostrophes and &ZPREFIX contains a value, the &ZPREFIX value is prefixed as in the first node of the name.

To set data set options

1. From the Primary Menu panel, an object list panel, or a utility panel, on the Command line, type OPTIONS (OPT).
2. Press Enter.The Options panel is displayed.

3. In the Edit Dataset names field, type Y.The Datasets panel is displayed below:

4. In the Print Dsn field, type the name of the print output data set. Catalog Manager dynamically allocates the sequential data set the first time that it is used.The PRINT command opens the data set for output when you first issue the command in each session. Additional print output is appended to the data set until you issue one of the following commands:
   • HC to submit the data set for printing
   • PRINT CLOSE to close and deallocate the data set
5. In the Catalog ManagerWork Dsn field, type the name of the work data set in which statements that the HDDL command produces are stored. Catalog Manager dynamically allocates the sequential data set the first time that it is used.

7. In the User Profile Dsn field, type the preallocated data set name and a member name, if the data set is partitioned.To create a user utility profile data set, see Creating-a-user-utility-profile-data-set.
8. In the JCL Generation Dsn field, type the default name of the partitioned data set that is used for utilities, the HC command, worklist job generation, and other jobs in which Catalog Manager builds JCL as needed.
