Program compiler listing PDS data sets

This is an optional DD statement that will be allowed at viewer start-up. It contains a reference to PDS data sets that can be selected by the user to be used as a source for unprocessed IBM compiler listings.

If, from the Convert Program Compiler Listing screen, a user selects Display, the screen will include the MFDDLIST data sets in the data set list. If the user selects Search, the MFDDLIST data sets will be searched, as well as the user’s previously specified data sets, and any data sets specified in ABNLLPDS. The //ABNLLPDS DD statement can be supplied in a batch job to tell the Abend-AID Viewer where the raw listing can be found. For more information regarding using Source Support and source listing files, refer to the Abend-AID User/Reference Guide or the Abend-AID for CICS User guide.

As a user enters compiler listing data set names to be processed and used, the data set names are saved in a small (five entries) FIFO table in the user profile. As new entries are added to the table, older entries are pushed down, and if the table is full, the oldest entry is discarded. This table will be included on the Search and Display screens that are selectable from the Convert screen. If Search is selected, these data sets will be included in the list to be searched for the listing member name. If Display is selected, the list of searchable data sets (including these) will be shown.
