ISPF conversion dialog utility setup

The DELTA IMS Conversion Setup option enables you to specify data sets and default values for conversion. In DELTA IMS, many of the values are stored in the user ISPF Profile.

To retrieve these values, you can select the Initialize from ISPF profile data field and specify the application ID that is used to invoke DELTA IMS. The relevant fields are populated with the values found in your ISPF profile.

You can change these values while processing the individual conversion options.

Fill in the fields according to the following table:

Field	Explanation
Initialize from ISPF profile data	Enter / to populate the fields with the DELTA IMS data found in your ISPF profile.
NEWAPPL	Enter the application ID that is used when invoking the DELTA IMS interface. This value is typically specified in the NEWAPPL parameter of an ISPF SELECT command.
DELTA IMS data sets (Input))
Options library	Enter the name of the load library that contains the existing DELTA IMS Global and IMSID options. This library has members with prefixes of DLA$, DLA#, and DLA@.
DELTA List Library	Enter the name of the DELTA IMS DELTA List library. This is the same name you that you would have entered in the DELTA IMS PDS field on the DELTA IMS Primary Menu.
DELTA PLUS data sets (Output)
Options library	Enter the name of the load library for the converted DELTA PLUS Global and IMSID options. If the library does not exist, you are prompted for allocation information. Note Since the DELTA PLUS member names do not conflict with DELTA IMS member names, this library can be the same as that used by DELTA IMS.
View Profile Library	Enter the name of the library for the converted DELTA PLUS View Profiles. View Profiles are equivalent to keyword tables in DELTA IMS. The View Profile is a VB data set with LRECL of 255. This library must not be the same as the DELTA IMS Options library. If the library does not exist, you are prompted for allocation information.
DELTA List library	Enter the name of the library for the converted DELTA PLUS Delta lists. This library must not be the same as the DELTA IMS DELTA List library. If the library does not exist, you are prompted for allocation information.
High-level qualifier	Enter a high-level qualifier for the DELTA PLUS Log and History File data set names. Upon IMSID options conversion, the high-level qualifier specified here is appended with imsid.DLPLOGn for log data sets, and imsid.DLPHISTn for History File data sets (imsid is the IMSID of the options being converted and n is either ‘1’ or ‘2’). These names are saved in the converted DELTA PLUS IMSID options. Do not enclose this value in apostrophes. Note Your TSO prefix is not appended to the left of this name.

Note

If you specify a non-fully qualified data set name (no apostrophes) in the library or data set name fields, your TSO prefix is appended to the left of the data set name.
