Active profile

Profile Type

Specify which profile file to open. If the specified profile doesn’t exit, File-AID/RDX attempts to create the profile file.

SITE

Identifies the installation wide profile file.

USER

Enter USER to select your own profile file (your userid.mlq.PROFILE, see also Profile Dataset). The TYPE field then displays your userid.

prefix

Identifies a profile file with the specified high level qualifier (up to 26 positions) (see also Profile Dataset). Entering a prefix that includes the string &USERID will substitute the current userid when the profile file is allocated. The prefix must not include the midlevel qualifier. Example: prefix FDM.&USERID allocates FDM.userid.RDX.PROFILE.

The TYPE field, however, continues to display &USERID.

Name

Specify the profile name (member name in the profile file). Enter an asterisk (*) or leave blank to display a list.

Description

Enter text that provides a concise description of the profile’s content or purpose.

Profile dataset

Displays the full name of the physical profile dataset (PDSE) including the prefix and midlevel qualifier (mlq) for the profile. The midlevel qualifier (product parameter variable RDXPMDQL) is specified during configuration of File-AID/RDX.

Enter the option number (1 - 6) to select the desired option or enter ALL to step through all options in sequence. Alternatively, you may also select one or more options with the S or / line command.

1 - Batch Defaults

Displays the Session and Batch Defaults screen where you can set batch job parameters and job statements for the current profile.

2 - Extract Defaults

Displays the Extract Defaults screen where you can set all the extract related defaults for the current profile.

3 - Load Defaults

Displays the Load Defaults screen where you can set all the load related defaults for the current profile.

4 - Disguise Defaults

Displays the Disguise Defaults screen where you can set all the data disguise related defaults for the current profile.

5 - Permanent Files

Displays the Permanent File Defaults screen where you specify all the default names and parameters for permanent extract and load related files for the current profile.

6 - Temporary Files

Displays the Temporary File Defaults screen where you specify all the default allocation parameters for temporary extract and load related files for the current profile.

Primary commands

The following File-AID/RDX-specific primary commands are valid on this screen:

ALL

Selects all profile options for you to step through in sequence.

CANCEL

Cancels all profile edits since the last save and returns to the File-AID/RDX Primary Option Menu.

Important

The CANCEL command is also a valid command in any and all of the Profile subpanels. CANCEL returns to the next higher level panel and discards any changes made in the panel where CANCEL is entered.

If you specify ALL in the RDX Profile screen or select multiple subpanels, CANCEL returns to the RDX Profile screen instead of going to the next panel selected, and all changes while in the CANCELed Profile screen will be discarded. Updates made in screens you exited with END will be retained, unless you also enter CANCEL on this RDX Profile screen.

END

Saves the current profile and returns to the File-AID/RDX Primary Option Menu.
