Editing templates

You can edit existing data set templates that are defined by the TEMPLATE utility. For example, you can change the pattern for the data set name, the device type, the unit, and other data set attributes.

To edit a template:

1. On the DB2 Administration Menu (ADB2) panel, specify option 5, and press Enter.
2. On the Utility generation using LISTDEFs and TEMPLATEs (ADB25) panel, specify the TEMPLATE control table that contains the template definition:
