WORKINGDIRECTORY

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramWORKINGDIRECTORYWORKDIRWD ( 'pnm' )

WORKINGDIRECTORY specifies the directory where DFSMSdss is to position itself in the z/OS UNIX hierarchy. It assists in setting the scope of the hierarchy the invoker is interested in. Any path specified in the INCLUDE criteria is concatenated with the WORKINGDIRECTORY to obtain an absolute path to the file(s) being processed. See DFSMSdss filtering—choosing the z/OS UNIX files you want processed.

Note:
  1. Must be specified with PATH
  2. Must be an absolute path.
  3. File attributes for directories are stored in the backup for any paths beginning after the working directory path.
