  2. (required if you select options 1 through 5) Type data set names in the DP/IMS Datasets fields. The first two data sets are required and identify the names of the data sets containing DPICDS and DPITBL information; the third data set is optional and contains the DBDs:

    Data set

    Description

    DPICDS

    (Required) Type the name of the Data Packer control data set.

    DPITBL

    (Required) Type the name of the Data Packer table data set. This data set contains the table load modules for Custom Huffman tables, Shared Tables, and Custom Hardware Dictionaries.

    Note

    If the DPICDS data set or the DPITBL data set is archived, Data Packer interfaces with your data center’s archival system to initiate the retrieval process.

    DBDLIB

    (Optional) Type the name of the DBDLIB containing the DBDs. If the DBD is present in the specified DBDLIB, all panels that provide segment lists will display the segments in hierarchical order. If you do not specify a DBDLIB, the segment list is displayed alphabetically.
