DATA SET NAME PREFIX field

The DATA SET NAME PREFIX field specifies the input prefix for the Db2 sample application libraries and for data sets that are to be created by the CLIST.

Acceptable values: 1–18 characters that form a valid z/OS® data set name prefix
Default: DSN1310
DSNZPxxx: none
The prefix applies to the following data sets. The fully qualified data set name cannot exceed 44 characters. Names that exceed eight characters must be in groups of no more than eight characters that are separated by periods.
  • prefix.NEW.SDSNTEMP
  • prefix.NEW.SDSNSAMP
  • prefix.NEW.SDSNCLST
  • prefix.DBRMLIB.DATA
  • prefix.RUNLIB.LOAD
  • prefix.SRCLIB.DATA

If you specified YES in the USE Z/OSMF WORKFLOW field on panel DSNTIPA1, the installation CLIST creates two additional libraries to which the prefix applies:

  • prefix.NEW.SDSNMFSA
  • prefix.NEW.SDSNSAM2

These data sets are partitioned data sets. The first two are deleted if they exist, and they are created or re-created during the tailoring session. If you specify DSNTIDXA or DSNTIDXB in the INPUT MEMBER NAME field, the prefix for fields 1, 2, and 3, and the prefix and suffix for fields 4, 5, and 6 on installation panel DSNTIPT: Db2 data set names panel are set. If all these data sets do not have the same prefix and suffix, you can change them on installation panel DSNTIPT.
