Bypassing conversion of entries

Using an override record, you can bypass a PCF entry so it is not converted and placed in the ICSF CKDS. You can use a global override record to bypass all the entries in the data set and then use explicit override records to convert certain entries. You can also convert most of a PCF CKDS and just bypass certain entries using explicit override records.

These are some examples of override records for bypassing conversion.

Example 1

This example shows an override record specifying that the conversion program not convert any PCF CKDS entry with a certain key label.

   EXTOATM3                            Y

The conversion program bypasses any PCF CKDS entry with the label EXTOATM3.

Example 2

This example shows an override record specifying that the conversion program not convert any PCF CKDS entry with a certain key label and key type.

   CRLABEL4 REMOTE                     Y

The conversion program bypasses any PCF CKDS entry with the label CRLABEL4 and key type REMOTE.

Example 3

This example shows a global override record specifying that the conversion program bypass all the entries in a PCF CKDS.

The conversion program does not convert any of the entries in the PCF CKDS.

After you specify this global override record, you can use explicit override records to convert certain entries in the PCF CKDS. For example, you can use an override record like this one to explicitly convert PCF entries with a certain label.

   ATM03                               N

In this example, the conversion program converts any PCF CKDS entry with the label ATM03.

Example 4

This example shows a global override record specifying that the conversion program bypass all the entries with a certain PCF key type in a PCF CKDS.

   REMOTE                              Y

The conversion program does not convert any of the entries with a key type of REMOTE in the PCF CKDS. After you specify this global override record, you can use explicit override records to convert specific entries with a key type of REMOTE in the PCF CKDS.
