Required Parameters
- PATH
- specifies
that a path is to be defined or that a path entry is to be recataloged.
- NAME(entryname)
- specifies the path's name.
- PATHENTRY(entryname)
- when
the path consists of an alternate index and its base clusters, entryname
identifies the alternate index entry. When
the path is opened to process data records, both the alternate index
and the base cluster are opened.
When the path consists of a cluster without an alternate index, entryname identifies the cluster. You can define the path as though it were an alias for the cluster. This allows you to specify no-update access to the cluster, so that the upgrade set will not be required or updated when the cluster is opened (provided the open does not cause sharing of a control block structure specifying UPDATE). You can also establish protection attributes for the alternate name, separate from the protection attributes of the cluster.
Entry name must not identify a VVDS.
