Update confirm
The following figure is displayed upon exit from the Update Preview screen. It summarizes the changes that File-AID/Data Solutions is about to make and gives you the option to overtype the displayed default values. Press <Enter> to proceed with the changes. Use the END command (PF3) to quit the procedure and redisplay the Input Specification screen.
Update Confirm Screen
COMMAND ===>
Ready to perform update
Perform update ===> Y (Y = Yes; N = No)
Print previewed changes ===> N (Y = Yes; N = No)
Maximum changes ===> ALL (All or number of changes to perform)
Instructions:
Use ENTER to perform above actions and return to the initial screen
Use END to exit without UPDATE or PRINT
Field Descriptions
The top of the screen displays a long message summarizing the update preview.
Ready to perform update
Perform update
Specify Y (Yes -- default) or N (No).
Print previewed changes
Specify Y (Yes) or N (No -- default).
Maximum changes
Specify a value to limit the number of changes. 0 through 999,999 are valid values. The default value is 0 or ALL. 0 (zero) or ALL changes all occurrences of the Change string value.
Confirm copy
Once all copy information is entered and Data Solutions begins to execute the copy process, Data Solutions displays the Confirm Copy screen, only when discrepancies exist between the FROM and TO datasets. Discrepancies include when records will be truncated or padded, and when inconsistencies occur with key descriptions. The following figure shows a sample Confirm Copy screen.
Confirm Copy Screen
COMMAND ===>
Dataset attributes are inconsistent. TRUNCATION/PAD may result in the
right-most positions of some records if COPY is performed.
"FROM" dataset attributes:
Dataset name ===> USERID0.DASAMP.XREF
Record format ===> VB
Record length ===> 300
"TO" dataset attributes:
Dataset name ===> USERID0.DASAMP.LAYOUTS
Record format ===> FB
Record length ===> 80
Pad characters ===> NULLS (Blanks or nulls)
Pad VSAM ===> N (Y or N) (Pad VSAM to average recordsize
using pad char specified above)
Use ENTER to continue with COPY, END to cancel
When the Confirm Copy screen is displayed, you can choose to cancel or continue the copy process. In addition, you can modify the pad character by moving the cursor to the field and overtyping the value. For VSAM datasets, padding does not occur unless the average and maximum record size of the TO file is equal and the PAD VSAM field is set to Y. Press <Enter> to continue the copy, or use the END command (PF3) to cancel the copy.
