Usage
For the FileName parameter, you can specify any valid data set or DD name, or a UNIX or Windows file name. For more information about file names on different operating systems, see Usage.
For z/OS, you can specify any valid data set, including a partitioned data set (PDS) or a generation data group (GDG) name.
As with other parameters that require a file name, when you specify a name that is eight characters or fewer, High-speed Apply Engine treats the name as a DD name. The DD name must refer to a DD statement in the apply request. However, in the case of the input file, the default DD name depends on the input type, as follows:
- For SQL input, the default is SQLIN.
- For a logical log file, the default is LLOGIN.
If the character string is not a valid DD name, High-speed Apply Engine treats it as a data set name.
