Steps in the DFHAUPLE procedure

The DFHAUPLE procedure is tailored to your CICS environment and stored in the CICSTS54.XDFHINST library when you run the DFHISTAR job.

About this task

The DFHAUPLE procedure contains the following steps:

1. ASSEM: This step puts your table definition macros into a temporary partitioned data set (PDS) member that is used as input to the ASM and SMP steps. The BLDMBR step subsequently adds further members to this temporary PDS.
2. ASM: In this assembly step, SYSPUNCH output goes to a temporary sequential data set. This output consists of IEBUPDTE control statements, lin-edit control statements, SMP control statements, and the object deck.
3. BLDMBR: In this step, the IEBUPDTE utility adds further members to the temporary PDS created in the ASSEM step. These members contain link-edit control statements and SMP control statements, and the object deck from the assembly step.
4. LNKEDT: The link-edit step uses the contents of the PDS member LNKCTL as control statements. The object code produced in step 2 comes from the temporary PDS. The output goes to the load library that is specified by the NAME parameter on the procedure. You must specify NAME=SDFHAUTH for the CLT, RST, and SIT, and NAME=SDFHLOAD for all the others.
5. ZNAME: This step creates a temporary data set that passes to the SMP/E JCLIN job step; it contains a SET BDY command that defines a target zone name. This tells SMP/E which target zone to update.
6. SMP: The SMP step uses the temporary PDS members MACROS, SMPCNTL, SMPJCL1, SMPJCL2, LNKCTL, SMPEOF, and the object deck to update the control data set (CDS).
7. DELTEMP: This final step deletes the temporary partitioned data set, &&TEMPPDS.

   This step must run successfully if you want SMP to reassemble CICS tables automatically when applying later maintenance.
