Profile Default Options
The Profile Default Options panel lets you save commonly used panel values in your ISPF profile for current and future online sessions.
If you want to view/delete reports from a different PDX, or generate/edit a global options module from a different library, enter the desired data set name in the CHANGE ACCUMULATION PLUS global options library or Report Options PDX library name and save the session (PF3).

Use the following fields on this panel.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Options suffix | Specify how to create and maintain global option values. For the options module suffix, type PARMS (as in CAPPARMS) or any valid one to four character member name suffix (such as ABC in CAP@ABC). To create a new profile, you can clear the Options Suffix field to display the Options Module List panel (Options-Module-List), which lists all existing options modules. When you select a member on the Options Module List panel, the ISPF interface populates the new profile with the suffix and PDX library values from the selected member. Use the PARMS suffix to refer to the global suffix options module that you created (see Global-Options) for storing your user-defined default option values. Use an IMSID as a suffix to create global options associated with the IMSID of databases selected for change accumulation, or use any one to four alphanumeric character identifier. Specify it as the value of a PARMBLK keyword specified on a GLBL control statement. In this example, ABC is the IMSID: GLBL PARMBLK=CAP@ABC |
CHANGE ACCUMULATION PLUS global options library | Specify the data set name of an existing load library that contains or will contain the global options modules, preferably the execution library where the BMC Change Accumulation utility modules are installed. |
PDX library name | Specify the PDX data set where report statistics are stored. When you browse Job History reports, this PDX library name is used to obtain the report data. A PDX data set is a specially-formatted BDAM data set used by various BMC products. It is conceptually similar to a PDS, in that a PDX may have multiple members (with directory user data), and each member may contain multiple logical records. However, unlike a PDS, PDX members can have 32-byte names with up to 255 bytes of user data, and the logical records are accessed using BDAM processing. If you enter a PDX data set that is either not cataloged or could not be accessed, the PDX Allocate and Format panel is displayed (see PDX-Allocate-and-Format). If this is the first BMC IMS Database Utilities product to be installed at your site, enter a unique data set name. The Profile Default Options panel prompts you to allocate and format the new PDX data set. If you have other BMC IMS Database Utilities products installed, you can enter the name of an existing IMS Database Utilities PDX library, or you can create a new PDX data set. |
Work unit | When you browse Job History reports, the report data is written to a temporary data set. Enter the name of the device unit to use when allocating this temporary work data set. For best performance, use the default (VIO). |
