INDDN
INDDN specifies the DD name that BMC AMI Load uses to read the input data.
The INDDN value tells BMC AMI Load which DD statements in your JCL are input data sets. For more information about input data sets, see SYSREC.
Enclosing the INDDN value within parentheses is optional.
Multiple data sets
If you specify INDDNPFX, BMC AMI Load finds any DD statement that begins with the ddname prefix that you specified in INDDN. If you do not specify INDDNPFX, BMC AMI Load treats the INDDN value as a static value.
To use multiple input data sets, specify only the ddname prefix in INDDN. For example, if you enter the following syntax, BMC AMI Load reads input data to all DD statements that begin with the prefix TDATA followed by valid alphanumeric or national ($, #, or @) characters to complete the eight-character DD or OUTPUT name:
//TDATA02 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=BMC.SOFTWARE.TEST.DATA02
//TDATA03 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=BMC.SOFTWARE.TEST.DATA03
//SYSIN DD *
LOAD DATA INDDN TDATA RESUME YES INDDNPFX
INTO TABLE BMC.TABLE1
BMC AMI Load reads input data to all of the following DD statements:
- //TDATA
- //TDATA0
- //TDATAA
- //TDATA@
- //TDATA00
- //TDATA01
- //TDATAAA
- //TDATA1B
The following messages indicate:
- The DD statements that BMC AMI Load has selected
- The number of rows that BMC AMI Load has read from each file
NGTL194 INDDN LOAD SELECTING DDNAME TDATA02.
NGTL194 INDDN LOAD SELECTING DDNAME TDATA03.
NGTL901 10 ROWS READ FROM TDATA01
NGTL901 6,000 ROWS READ FROM TDATA02
NGTL901 3,028 ROWS READ FROM TDATA03
The INDDN value tells BMC AMI Load which DD statements in your JCL are input data sets. For more information about input data sets, see SYSREC.
If you specify this keyword, you must allocate the specified DD name. The DD name must reference an existing data set. The data set can be of fixed or variable format (blocked is also valid). The data set must be readable by the basic sequential access method (BSAM).
As an alternative to specifying an input data set name in your DD statement, you can use the OUTPUT command. The OUTPUT-command-for-BMC-AMI-Load must reference an existing input data set.
