  • SQL generated by any standard SQL generator

Valid values

Default value

SQLIN for an SQL input file and LLOGIN for a logical log input file

Usage

For the FileName parameter, you can specify any valid data set or DD name. 

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.

Important

If you include the SQLIN or LLOGIN DD statement in the apply request, and you do not specify the InputType parameter, High-speed Apply Engine uses the DD name to determine whether the input file is SQL or a logical log control file. If you include both DD statements in an apply request, you must specify the InputType parameter, or the request cannot be processed.
