How to Define Data Sets for Build Processing

To use the batch options of the build facility for automation control files, you must first specify the names of the data sets required for the batch processing. These names form the DD name concatenations to be included in the JCL of the batch processing job.

The data set names are saved in an ISPF table in the partitioned data set that is referenced by the AOFTABL DD name, for example, ING.CUSTOM.AOFTABL (allocated during installation of SA z/OS).

On the Customization Dialog Primary Menu panel, select the Settings option. This displays the Customization Dialog Settings Menu (see Figure 1). On this panel, choose option 11, DSNAMES. The Data Set Customization Details panel is displayed (see Figure 1).
