Creating configuration member FPXCFG00

A configuration member determines the members that include the global site default options, and the parameter library that includes the DB-level site default options and the AREA-level site default options that are to be used.

About this task

To use the site default options, a configuration member FPXCFG00 must be created in a library that is specified on the PROCLIB DD statement, which is always coded in the FPUTIL cataloged procedure of the IMS system. If the configuration member FPXCFG00 is not created in PROCLIB, no site default options are applied.

The following keyword parameters can be specified in FPXCFG00:

  • xxxSUF=yy
  • xxxPARMLIB=a_parameter_library_dsname

where xxx can be GBL, OPC, ODE, OER, or ODM.

The global site default options are specified in member FPXxxx00, which must reside in a library that is concatenated to the PROCLIB DD statement. The default member FPXxxx00 can be changed to FPXxxxyy by specifying the 2-character suffix yy using the keyword xxxSUF=yy. If xxxSUF=yy is specified but the member FPXxxxyy does not exist, processing ends with an error. If the xxxSUF parameter is not specified in FPXCFG00, the default member FPXxxx00 is used. If the default member does not exist in PROCLIB, processing continues as if no global site default options are specified.

Keyword xxxPARMLIB=a_parameter_library_dsname specifies the name of the parameter library for utility xxx. The DB-level site default options are specified in a member with a DBD name (a DB member) which can be created for each DEDB, and the area-level site default options are specified in a member with an AREA name (an AREA member) which can be created for each area. The DB member is used for an area to be processed only when the corresponding AREA member does not exist.

When creating the configuration member, follow these rules:

  • Each keyword parameter must be specified on an 80-byte line.
  • A line must not contain more than one keyword parameter.
  • Each keyword parameter must start in the first column.
  • The keyword parameters can be specified in any order.
  • If a same keyword parameter is specified more than once, the value specified in the last occurrence of the keyword parameter is used.

The following figure is an example of the content of FPXCFG00.

Statements in the sample FPXCFG00 means as follows:

  • The global site default options of the GLOBAL control statement are specified in member FPXGBL01
  • The global site default options of the OPC utility are specified in member FPXOPC01
  • The global site default options of the ODE utility are specified in member FPXODE00
  • The global site default options of the OER utility are specified in member FPXOER01
  • The global site default options of the ODM utility are specified in member FPXODM02
  • The DB-level site default options or the area-level site default options of the OPC utility are created in HPFP.OPC.PARMLIB
  • The DB-level site default options or the area-level site default options of the ODE utility are created in HPFP.ODE.PARMLIB
  • The DB-level site default options or the area-level site default options of the OER utility are created in HPFP.OER.PARMLIB
  • The DB-level site default options of the ODM utility are created in HPFP.ODM.PARMLIB
