The following panel is displayed when you enter the S (Select) line command on a sequential MVS file in the Target Environment screen. This screen lets you modify the create MVS file information from the extract file to your new target environment.
Command ===>
Source Object:
File Name: TSOID02.FASAMP.EMPMAST'
Target Object:
File Name ===> 'TSOID01.FASAMP.EMPMAST'
Auto Calculate Space ===> N (Y or N)
Management Class ===> SAMPLE@S (Blank for default)
Storage Class ===> STDDODFW (Blank for default)
Generic unit ===>
Volume serial ===> PRD936 (Blank for default)
Data Class ===> (Blank for default)
Space units ===> TRK (BLKs; TRKs; CYLs)
Primary quantity ===> 1 (In above units)
Secondary quantity ===> 1 (In above units)
Record length ===> 198
Block size ===> 0
When parameters are complete, use END to continue.
Use this screen to update the MVS file information to be loaded. After you modify the MVS file information, press END to return to the Target Environment screen.
Source Object
This section provides information about the following parameters:
File Name
Displays the name of the MVS file as specified in the extract file.
Target Object
This section provides information about the following parameters:
File Name
Displays the name of the MVS file as specified on the Target Environment screen. You can also change the file name in this field.
Auto Calculate Space
Specify whether you want File-AID/RDX to calculate the space allocation for this new target MVS file based on the extracted data or not. The calculated space will not exceed the space allocation of the source. This setting overrides the global status set with the Automatic Space Calculation field in the Target Environment screen. When this field displays an M, it indicates that the space allocation values have been entered manually which overrides the automatic space calculation.
Autocalculate Space ===> M (Y or N)
Management Class
Specify the SMS management class to use for the allocation of the file. The management class describes the migration, backup, and retention for the file.
Storage Class
Specify the SMS storage class to use for the allocation of the file. The storage class describes the hardware requirements of the file.
Generic Unit
Specify the device type on which the new file will reside. The names of these devices are installation dependent.
Volume serial
Specify the volume serial of the direct access device that contains the file.
Data Class
Specify the SMS data class to use for the allocation of the file. The data class describes the attributes of the file such as RECORG, KEYLEN, KEYOFF, SPACE, etc.
Space units
Specify one of the following storage unit types depending on how the file size is expressed:
TRK - Tracks
CYL - Cylinders
BLK - Blocks
KB - Kilobytes
MB - Megabytes
Primary quantity
Specify the primary allocation quantity as specified in the space units field.
Secondary quantity
Specify the secondary allocation quantity as specified in the space units field.
Record length
Specify a logical record length, in bytes, of the records to be stored in the file. File-AID/RDX validates this value with the record format and block size.
Block size
Specify the physical record length, in bytes, of the blocks to be stored in the file. File-AID/RDX validates this value with the record format and record length.
