Use the Remote Systems view in the Enterprise
Service Tools perspective to allocate three partitioned data
sets (PDS's) on MVS™:
a PDS to contain COBOL source members, a PDS to contain COBOL copy
book members, and a PDS to contain JCL members.
When you run the Generate Runtime Code wizard, you specify these
three PDS's as the destinations to which you want the wizard to copy
these three different categories of output files (see JES, MVS, and connections -- when needed and Step B7. The Selection of target locations page of the Generate Runtime Code wizard).
For names to use for PDS's see Tips for naming partitioned data sets.
To allocate PDS's using the Remote Systems view:
In the EST Perspective, in the Remote
Systems view, expand the connection (for example, system.company)
to the remote system to which you want the Generate Runtime wizard
to copy the output files.
Start the MVS connection
if it is not already started (see Step B3(b). Start the connection to the remote z/OS system).
Perform the
following steps three
times, once for each PDS:
Right-click the MVS Files subnode.
Select Allocate PDS. The New Data Set
wizard starts.
- On the Allocate PDS page of the New Data
Set wizard:
- In the Host Short Name list, select the
connection for the remote z/OS system
on which you want to allocate the PDS.
- Under Data Set Name:
- In the list on the left select a user name (such
as USER25).
- In the input field type a high-level qualifier
(such as SFP1CO.USER.) followed by a low-level
qualifier (such as JCL).
- Click Next.
- On the Data Set Allocation page of the
New Data Set wizard:
- Select the radio button Specify characteristics by
usage type.
- In the Category list box, select SOURCE.
- In the Type list box, select one of the
following types:
- Select COBOL if you are creating the PDS
to contain COBOL members.
- Select COBOL if you are creating the PDS
to contain COBOL copy book members.
- Select JCL if you are creating the PDS
to contain JCL members.
- Click Next.
- On the Data Set Characteristics page of
the New Data Set wizard:
- You can accept the default values for the characteristics of the
PDS or specify new values.
- Click Finish.
The PDS is created.
