Provide the following information about the definition, as appropriate:
- Name
- Specify a 1- to 8-character name for the file key segment definition.
- Version
- (Optional.) Specify an integer in the range 1 through 15. Specify 0
or leave blank for CICSPlex® SM to assign the first available version id in the
range 1 through 15.
- Description
- (Optional.) Specify a 1- to 30-character description of the file key
segments.
- RESGROUP
- (Optional.) Specify the name of an existing resource group to which
the definition is to be automatically added.
- User Data
- (Optional.) Three 8-character fields provided for any site-specific
data related to the file key segments. CICSPlex SM makes no use of this user data.
The remaining fields on the two file key segment definition panels identify
the attributes of up to 24 key segments. Provide the following information
for each key segment, as appropriate:
- Pos
- Specify the starting character position of the key segment within the
record. The first byte is character 0.
- Len
- Specify the length of the key segment in bytes, in the range 0 through
999.
- Dup
- Specify Y or N to indicate whether duplicate keys are permitted.
- Mod
- Specify Y or N to indicate whether the key is modifiable.
- Bin
- Specify Y or N to indicate whether the segment is a binary key segment.
- Nc
- Specify Y or N to indicate whether null characters are allowed in the
key.
- Sg
- Specify Y or N to indicate whether the segment is part of the same key
as the next segment.
- Alt
- Specify Y or N to indicate whether keys should be sorted using an EBCDIC
collating sequence (as an alternative to ASCII).
- Nul
- Specify the number of the null key, in the range 0 through 255.
If the file key segment definition is complete, press Enter. If you
want to specify additional key segments, issue the DOWN command.
The second file key segment definition panel is similar to the first; it
allows you to define key segments 11 through 24. When you are finished defining
key segments, press Enter to add the definition to the data repository.
