GLOBAL data set profiles are processed like data set profiles. If no SYSIN data is specified, IRRRID00 searches the database looking for potential residual IDs. During this search, general resource profiles are not searched, with the exception of GLOBAL data set profiles. GLOBAL data set profile names are processed just like data set profile names: the HLQs of profiles are examined for residual IDs.

The special qualifier names that are allowed in a GLOBAL data profile, such as &RACUID and &RACGPID, are not considered residual IDs.
