FACE Driver and Offline Interface (DFAD)

Use the FACE driver and offline interface (DFAD) to print all record-type ordinal-number combinations and their associated FACE generated file addresses. DFAD also provides an interface to the file address compute program (FACE) so that offline programs can obtain an address for a specific record type-ordinal number combination.

DFAD is run under MVS control. You can run this program using one of the following methods.

DFAD must be assembled against the STCEQ and the SYSEQC macros, which were created for the FACE table (FCTB) being processed.

Note:
DFAD does not return information for FARF6 or unique record types.
