FILESYS specifies the file system to be used for files for which no explicit file system was specified by means of an ASSIGN clause or an environment variable. The option applies to sequential, relative, and indexed files. It does not apply to line-sequential files, for which the file system must be specified as, or default to, NAT (native).
FILESYS option syntax .-VSA--. >>-FILESYS(-+-DB2--+-)----------------------------------------->< +-RSD--+ +-SdU--+ +-SFS--+ +-STL--+ '-VSAM-'
Default is: FILESYS(VSA)
Abbreviation is: FS(DB2|RSD|SdU|SFS|STL|VSA)
If the system file-name begins with the value of environment variable ENCINA_CDS_ROOT (typically /.:/cics/sfs), this suboption implies the SFS file system. Otherwise, it implies the SdU file system.
