DEFAULT TEMPLATE field (FCCOPYDDN subsystem parameter)

The FCCOPYDDN subsystem parameter defines the default value that is to be used for the FCCOPYDDN parameter of the FLASHCOPY option of Db2 utilities control statements. This parameter applies to the COPY, LOAD, REBUILD INDEX, REORG INDEX, and REORG TABLESPACE utilities.

FCCOPYDDN specifies the template for deriving the data set name for the FlashCopy® image copy.

FlashCopy technology can be used to create VSAM copies of objects almost instantaneously. It creates a separate data set for each piece of the object that is being copied. FlashCopy technology can also be used to recover the object if necessary, which reduces recovery time and therefore provides greater availability.

Important: You must replace HLQ in the default value with a high-level qualifier that is appropriate for your subsystem.

Acceptable values:	valid Db2 utilities template
Default:	HLQ.&DB..&SN..N&DSNUM..&UQ.
Update:	option 35 on panel DSNTIPB
DSNZP`xxx`:	DSN6SPRM FCCOPYDDN

If you assign the FCCOPYDDN setting directly in DSNTIJUZ, you need to repeat each ampersand (&) character to conform with IBM® High-Level Assembler rules. For example, you would need to assign the default value above as FCCOPYDDN=HLQ.&&DB..&&SN..N&&DSNUM..&&UQ. (notice the trailing period).
