- Model Data Set Name
- A data set name to be used as the model file for defining the auxiliary
data set for a full function edit session. The TSO prefix (as defined for your user ID) is
used as the high-level qualifier for any name that is not enclosed in quotation marks.
A model file should be used to determine the volume placement of the auxiliary data set in a non-SMS environment. The model file must be a VSAM cluster. It should be defined as a RRDS or VRRDS depending on the attributes of the data set being edited. You can provide both RRDS and VRRDS models by specifying a model data set name that does not exist and represents a prefix for the data set name that will be used.
The model data set that Z Data Tools uses is the name you provided suffixed with
.RRDS
for fixed and.VRRDS
for variable length records. - Auxiliary Data Set Name
- A data set name to be used as the auxiliary file
for a full function edit session.
The TSO prefix (as defined for your user ID) is
used as the high-level qualifier for any name
that is not enclosed in quotation marks.
The auxiliary file must be a REUSEable RRDS file, whose record length definitions must be compatible with the file being edited.
If this field is left blank, a RRDS file is automatically defined for the edit session and subsequently deleted.
It should be defined as a RRDS or VRRDS depending on the attributes of the data set being edited.
You can provide both RRDS and VRRDS data sets by specifying a data set name that does not exist and represents a prefix for the data set name that will be used.
