DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field

The value of the DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field indicates the name of the input data set to use for migrating from Db2 12. If you are installing, updating, or provisioning Db2 subsystems, the DATA SET(MEMBER) NAME field must remain blank.If you are installing or updating, the field must remain blank.

Acceptable values: 1–44 alphanumeric characters
Default: NULL
DSNZPxxx: none
The named member contains the output parameters that were produced when you last installed, updated, or migrated the prior release of Db2. Provide the fully qualified data set name as shown in the following example:
DSN1210.SDSNSAMP(DSNTIDXA)

If you no longer have this data set member, or if the one you have is incorrect, use the installation or update process from your previous release to re-create or correct the member. Enter the correct values on the panels, and save them under a new output member name. Discard the JCL that is created by this process; use the newly created member for migration.

Alternatively, you can run job DSNTIJXZ on your subsystem to create an updated data set member that contains the subsystem parameter and buffer pool settings from your previous release.

Valid data set name

Valid data set names can be unqualified or qualified:
Unqualified name
One to eight alphanumeric or national characters, a hyphen, or the character X'C0'. The first character must be alphabetic or national. Do not use hyphens in data set names for RACF-protected data sets. For example, ALPHA is an unqualified data set name.
Qualified name
Multiple names joined by periods. Each name is coded like an unqualified name. Therefore, the name must contain a period within every eight characters. For example, ALPHA.PGM is a qualified data set name. The maximum length of a qualified data set name is:
  • 44 characters if you use the TSO PROFILE setting NOPREFIX.
  • 42 characters if you use the TSO PROFILE setting PREFIX.
  • For an output tape data set, 17 characters, including periods. If the name is longer than 17 characters, only the right-most 17 characters are written to the tape header label.
