Field Descriptions

Specify Change Criteria Information:

Criteria dataset name

Specify the name of a cataloged partitioned dataset with attributes of RECFM=VB and a minimum LRECL=300. Use the naming conventions described in Specifying a Data set Name.

You can enter a pattern data set name in this field to display a list of data sets from which you can make a selection. A pattern data set name or mask consists of explicit characters or a combination of explicit and pattern characters. For more information, see Pattern Data set Names in section Specifying a Data set Name.

Important

It is highly recommended you use separate criteria data sets for disguise criteria created through the File-AID/RDX interface and name them in such a way as to easily recognize them as File-AID/RDX disguise criteria data sets. As the layout information for the File-AID/RDX extract object may be different from the information you would provide with the stand-alone File-AID/Data Solutions, the disguise process may not produce valid and repeatable results if you edited the File-AID/RDX disguise criteria rules with the stand-alone File-AID/Data Solutions criteria function.

Member name

Specify the member name. You can leave this field blank or enter a pattern member name to display a list of members from which you can make a selection. A pattern member name or mask consists of explicit characters or a combination of explicit and pattern characters. See Pattern Member Names in section Specifying a Data set Name for a complete description. Pattern names cannot be entered in both the Dataset name and Member name fields at the same time.

Confirm Replace

The following figure is displayed when the criteria already exists in the specified PDS.
