This option controls the collection of VSAM RLS activity data. By default, or if you specify VSAMRLS, activity data is gathered for VSAM RLS by storage class. In addition, you can specify data set masks to collect data by VSAM spheres. To suppress the gathering of VSAM RLS data, specify NOVSAMRLS.

You can control the collection of VSAM RLS activity data by VSAM spheres using following suboptions:

• ADD - Start collection for all VSAM data sets which are covered by the mask.
• DEL - Stop collection for all VSAM data sets which are covered by the mask.

Up to 50 different data set masks can be active at a time. You can not add a set of data sets by using the wildcard sign and afterwards delete a subset which is covered by the mask. For example, if VSM1.* has been added, you can not delete VSM1.VSR1.*.

A data set mask must apply to following rules:

• The data set mask represents a base cluster name. All components belonging to the base cluster will be gathered (data, index, alternate data, alternate index).
• The data set mask can be a full or partial data set name. For example, VSM1.VSR1.BASE or VSM1.*
• At least a high level qualifier must be specified.
• * specifies one qualifier, ** specifies any number of qualifiers
• Once a wildcard is specified, then no other qualifiers are allowed
