Collection of SMS Construct Information: Example 5

This example uses the SMSDATA keyword to extract the construct definitions from a named SCDS.

//COLLECT5 JOB    ...
//STEP1    EXEC   PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD     SYSOUT=A
//OUTDS    DD     DSN=USER.DCOLLECT.OUTPUT,

           SMSDATA(SCDSNAME(SYSPROG.SCDS.SYSTEMA))

Job control language statement:

• OUTDS describes the sequential output data set where records from data collection are written. The LRECL is set to 32756, which is the largest record size that can be handled by DCOLLECT. You do not need to change the JCL each time a DCOLLECT record is extended.

Parameters are:

• OFILE identifies the output data set ('USER.DCOLLECT.OUTPUT') by ddname.
• SMSDATA collects construct data from the named SCDS. In this example, the SCDS is named SYSPROG.SCDS.SYSTEMA.
