   An Object Set is an ordered group of DB2 Objects. Type a specific Object Set   
   or type a wildcard pattern for a selection list.                               
                                                                                 
   Object Set . . . BMCDE30.FIOBJSET01                                           
                                                                                 
   Select an option. Then press Enter.

      8. View Object Set Result Set                                               
      9. List Action Impact

2. In the Object Set field, enter an object set name in the form of owner.name (up to 8 characters for owner and up to 18 characters for name) and press Enter.Valid characters for the object set are as follows:

   • A–Z (upper case only)
   • 0–9
   • @ # $ & - / and space

   Together, the owner name and object set name must form a unique name. The default owner name is your TSO logon ID. The product does not support delimited names. For more information about the owner name, see Controlling-access-to-Object-Sets.

   DASD MANAGER PLUS validates that the owner.name does not already exist on the subsystem.

3. Select Create a new object set and press Enter.The Create Object Set panel appears:

   DEMO ---------------------------- Create Object Set ---------------------------
   Command ===>                                                                   
                                                                                 
   Type new Object Set data. Then press Enter.

   Description  . . .

   Important

   As an alternative method, perform the following steps to open the Object Set List from the main object set panel:

   1. Select List and specify a wildcard pattern for the object set name.
   2. Type C in any Act field and press Enter.

4. On the Create Object Set panel, optionally enter an object set description and press Enter.

   Important

   The object set name that you specified on the Object Set Main menu is carried forward. You can change the object set name if necessary.

   The Specify Object Set panel is displayed.

   *** ******************************* BOTTOM ************************************

5. Enter the following information:

   In this field	Enter this information
   INCL/EXCL	Plus (+) sign to include, or minus (-) sign to exclude.
   Obj Type	TS, IX, TB, SG, PL, PG, IS, OS, or SQ
   Name or Name Pattern	Type a name or name pattern
   By Part	Type Y if you want to specify partition numbers, or N if you don't want to specify partition numbers.
   Begin Part	Enter partition numbers. If you entered N in the By Part field, these values are set to zero.
   End Part
   INCLUDE OPTIONS
   IX	Type Y to include these objects, or N to exclude them.
   RI
   LOB	Type Y to include these objects, or N to exclude them. Type B to include base objects and exclude auxiliary objects. Type O to exclude base objects and include auxiliary objects that match the naming pattern.
   XML
   HST
   ACH
   Description	(optional) Enter a description.

   Important

   If you enter OS in the Obj Type field, DASD MANAGER PLUS ignores the specification fields to the right of the Name or Name Pattern field. Therefore, you cannot use the By Part, Begin Part, End Part, Include IX, Include RI, Include XML, Include HST, and Include ACH fields to further qualify an Object Set.

   For more information about how DASD MANAGER PLUS interprets patterns based on object type, see Patterns-for-object-sets.

6. (optional) Use the following commands to edit the object set:

   • I inserts a line for you to add a new specification.
   • L inserts a line that repeats the previous line (for faster editing).
   • D deletes a specification line.
   • E displays the Object Set Specification Edit panel. This panel displays the line in detail format.
   • C copies a line to another location. You must use the A(fter) or B(efore) in the Act column to designate a destination for the copied line.
   • M moves a line to another location. You must use the A(fter) or B(efore) in the Act column to designate a destination for the moved line.
   • A designates the line after the current line as the destination for the Move or Copy action.
   • B designates the line before the current line as the destination for the Move or Copy action.
   • S allows you to add SQL for a SQ-type specification.
   • X expands wild cards that you have entered.

   Important

   Use the F4 key to zoom into the contents of a long object name field. Place the cursor over the truncated field and press F4 to see the entire field.

7. Press END to create the object set.
