Creating active logs
OPERTUNE creates new logs by invoking IDCAMS from your OPERTUNE session. You can create a log in three ways:
- Specify all of the parameters (see Creating an active log by specifying all parameters)
- Copy the parameters from another log and make any necessary changes (see Creating an active log by copying parameters)
- Create a log at the same time you add it (see 5)
You can also use the CREATELOG command to create a log. For more information, see Creating an active log using the CREATLOG command).
Use the Create Data Set Parameters panel to set or modify the CREATE command parameters, as displayed in the following figure:
Command ===> __________________________________________________________________
Enter attributes of the active log being created. Then press Enter.
