DSD Statement

The DSD statement marks the beginning of a set of utility control statements and specifies the data sets that IEBDG is to use as input. The DSD statement can be used to specify one output data set and any number of input data sets for each application of IEBDG.

The syntax of the DSD statement is:

Label	Statement	Parameters
[label]]	DSD	OUTPUT=(ddname)
		[,INPUT=(ddname1[,ddname2][,....])]

where:

OUTPUT=(ddname): specifies the ddname of the DD statement defining the output data set.
INPUT=(ddname1[,ddname2] [,...]): specifies the ddnames of a DD statements defining data sets used as input to the program. Any number of data sets can be included as input—that is, any number of ddnames referring to corresponding DD statements can be coded. Whenever ddnames are included on a continuation record, they must begin in column 4.
The ddname SYSIN must not be coded in the INPUT parameter on the DSD control statement. Each ddname should not appear more than once on any control statement.

Each parameter should appear no more than once on any DSD statement.
