Specifying DSNACCOX-like exceptions

Edit online

Each of the DSNACCOX-like exception categories is a set of exception conditions that are in other categories.

About this task

Note: The colors that are mentioned in this topic are based on the default ISPF color scheme. If you changed your default ISPF colors, they may not match the colors as described.

Procedure

  1. Select DSNACCOX-like exceptions using one of the following methods:
    • Expand the DSNACCOX-like Recommendations category, then enter S or A next to the category of exception conditions that you want to select.
    • Enter View C in the Option line. When the Categories of Exception Conditions window is displayed, enter / next to the category of exception conditions that you want to select.
  2. On the Update Exceptions Category Display, the selected category of exceptions is listed.
    The panel displays the formulas in parenthesized IF-ENDIF (Boolean) format. You need only to specify the exception values; the And/Or condition and the condition value (such as EQ, NE, or GT) are fixed by the DSNACCOX formula and cannot be changed. The exception condition values that must be entered are populated with question marks ("?"). The cursor is placed at the first field that contains a question mark.
  3. Specify valid exception condition values that you want exception processing to use in each field. All fields must be specified.
  4. Press PF3 (END).
    The Update Exceptions Profile Display shows the DSNACCOX-like Recommendations group line, and other groups that were selected as part of the DSNACCOX-like formulas, in red.

Results

All of the exception conditions that are part of the DSNACCOX-like exception group are displayed in pink. If you expand a red exception condition group that is red, any exception condition that is part of the DSNACCOX-like exception group is displayed in pink.

What to do next

You can use the VIEW S or VIEW B commands to view only the selected exception conditions or to view the selected exception conditions using Boolean logic. Once you have selected and set exceptions in the DSNACCOX-like category, you cannot edit the exceptions in their individual categories. To edit those values, either enter U next to the exception in the DSNACCOX-like category, or enter the View C command in the Option line and reselect the category.
