CA keyword

The CA keyword specifies the ddname of the output change accumulation data set.

You must use CA or the DFSUCUMN DD statement to identify the change accumulation output data set or dynamically allocate it with CAALLOC(Y).

You can create duplicate output data sets by specifying multiple ddnames. When you create duplicates and DBRC is active, only the first change accumulation data set name is recorded in the RECON data set.

Use

Optional on the GROUP control statement

If you use CA, do not use the STKCA keyword. If you dynamically allocate the change accumulation output, you must also use either the CAPREF keyword or the Data Set Name user exit. Refer to Data-Set-Name-user-exit and to the following keywords:
