Library


The Library parameter specifies the name of the partitioned data set (PDS) that the High-speed Apply Engine uses to store the database request modules (DBRMs) for the apply request. You can also specify a DD name that appears in the JCL for the apply request.

Usage

You can specify any partitioned data set name or a DD name. When you specify a data set name with the Library parameter, the default value of the DISP parameter becomes SHR.

If you do not specify a data set name for the Library parameter, High-speed Apply Engine uses the data set that is specified in the APTDBRM DD statement. If you do not include that DD statement in the JCL, the High-speed Apply Engine creates a temporary data set to store the DBRMs.

If you specify a data set with this parameter (or with the APTDBRM DD statement), maintain the data set to avoid bind problems. Periodically delete old DBRMs that are no longer used by High-speed Apply Engine and compress the data set. If you do not maintain the data set properly, High-speed Apply Engine can encounter bind errors because of insufficient directory space or physical space on DASD storage.
