     Specify the conditioned RECON data set names below.                
     RECON Copy 1 ==> TSMXD.IEA2.RECON1                                 
     RECON Copy 2 ==> TSMXD.IEA2.RECON2                                 
                                                                        
     When the DR preparation job will copy the RECON data sets to be    
     conditioned, you can use the variables below as part of the data   
     set name.  If you are making your own copy of the RECON data       
     sets for conditioning, you must specify the fully qualified        
     data set name.                                                     
                                                                        
      &RECON  - The production RECON name                               
      &USER   - The user associated with the DR preparation job         
      &SSID   - The subsystem name                                      
      &DATE   - Current date in format Dyyddd                           
      &TIME   - Current time in format Thhmmss                          
    

  2. On the Customize Conditioned RECON name panel, in the DR Prep create conditioned RECON data sets field, specify whether you want the DR preparation job to create the RECON data sets that will be conditioned or not. If you specify Y, then when the DR preparation job executes, it will make a copy of the production RECON data sets and use them for performing RECON conditioning. If you specify N, then you must create a copy of the RECON data sets to be conditioned and specify their names in the RECON Copy 1 and RECON Copy 2 fields.
    Note: When you specify Y in the DR Prep create conditioned RECON data sets field, you can either specify the RECON data set names or leave these fields blank, and the DR preparation job will create the name. When you specify N in the DR Prep create conditioned RECON data sets field, you must specify fully qualified data set names for both RECON Copy 1 and RECON Copy 2; no symbolic variables are allowed in this case.
  3. In the RECON Copy 1 and RECON Copy 2 fields, customize the names of the two copies of the RECON data sets that are used for RECON conditioning. You can use the following symbols as part of the name mask:
    • &RECON: The production RECON name
    • &USER: The user associated with the DR preparation job
    • &SSID: The subsystem name
    • &DATE: The current date in format yyddd
    • &TIME: The current time in format hhmmss
