Detail Action Language function
Purpose
To provide operational control over Detail Action Language (DAL).
Function identifier
DAL
Description of usage
The DAL DISPLAY command lets you display the current DAL, including its identifier. The DAL REFRESH command lets you switch dynamically to another set of DAL rules. You can also request that the execution of DAL be traced.
To display DAL
The output has the following format:
DSNAME=TM.DALJAL MEMBER=DAL001
GENERATED ON DATE=yyyy.ddd TIME=hh:mm:ss
BY LANGUAGE PROCESSOR Vn Rn.n - #Vptf-level (low-level)
LOADED ON DATE=yyyy.ddd TIME=hh:mm:ss
In this display, ptf-level represents the PTF level of the responding ThruPut Manager, and low-level represents the lowest PTF level than can load this DAL properly.
To replace the current DAL rules
It is possible to replace the DAL dynamically with the DAL REFRESH command:
In this example, a new set of DAL rules, contained in the NEWDAL member of SYS1. PARMLIB, is to replace the existing set. If the data set and member name are omitted, the DAL REFRESH command re-reads the data set or member specified at TMSS initialization.
To Trace DAL
In this example DAL tracing is activated for jobs that have a name that starts with the letters 'PAY'.
