How JES2 determines the JES2 XCF group member name

Within a group, each JES2 member is assigned an XCF member name. The member name that identifies a JES2 member to the JES2 XCF group is composed of the NAME= parameter on the NODE(nnnn) statement, the $ symbol, and the OWNMEMB= parameter on the MASDEF initialization statement. For example, using the following initialization statements:

NODE(1) NAME=POKX
MEMBER(1) NAME=HAS1
MASDEF OWNMEMB=HAS1

the member name for MVS™ is POKX$HAS1.

For information about how to specify NAME= on the MEMBER(n) initialization statement and OWNMEMB= on the MASDEF initialization statement, see Starting the multi-access SPOOL configuration.

Because the member name includes a $, you might want to avoid using it on the OWNMEMB= parameter and NAME= parameter of the NODE(nnnn) initialization statement to eliminate potential confusion.

The JES2 XCF member names must be unique within the JES2 XCF group.
