ICHNCONV ACTION
An ICHNCONV ACTION macro changes the value of variables. Use these macros to convert the data set name to the standard RACF® format. RACF processes the ACTION macros in sequence.
The format of the ICHNCONV ACTION macro is:
[label] ICHNCONV ACTION,SET=(variable,value)- ACTION
- Identifies a naming convention action. You can code multiple ICHNCONV ACTION macros.
- SET=(variable,value)
- Changes
the qualifiers of a data set name and other variables.
- variable
- Specifies the variables that the convention
can reference and set. See the preceding description of ICHNCONV SELECT
for a description of these variables. The following variables can be set:
- UQ
- QUAL
- G
- U
- V
- NAMETYPE
- WKA, WKB, WKC
- WKX, WKY, WKZ
- value
- Specifies the value given to the variable. Value can be another
variable, a literal, or one of the following special symbols for use
with the NAMETYPE variable:
- USER
- GROUP
- UNKNOWN
The value assigned to a variable should match the length and type of the variable. If the length does not match, RACF performs padding or truncation in the normal manner. If the type does not match, the results are unpredictable.
If you specify value as a variable, it can be any of the variables defined in the description of ICHNCONV SELECT.
If value is a literal, it can be:- A character string enclosed in quotes
- A decimal number
- A hexadecimal string of the form X‘string’
