Entry parameters for the DFHCSDUP program
When invoking the DFHCSDUP program, your program passes a list of up to five parameters.
- OPTIONS
- A list of character strings, separated by commas. (The information
passed here is that which would otherwise be passed on the PARM keyword
of the EXEC statement of JCL.) Note: A maximum of three options may be specified:
- UPPERCASE
- specifies that you want all output from DFHCSDUP to be in uppercase. If you want all output to be in mixed case (the default), do not code this option.
- CSD({READWRITE|READONLY})
- specifies whether you require read/write or read-only access to the CSD. The default value is READWRITE.
- PAGESIZE(nnnn)
- specifies the number of lines per page on output listings. Valid values for nnnn are 4 through 9999. The default value is 60.
- NOCOMPAT|COMPAT
- specifies whether the DFHCSDUP utility program is to run in compatibility mode (that is, whether it can update definitions that are obsolete in Version 5 Release 3). The default is NOCOMPAT, which means that you cannot update obsolete attributes. For further information about this option, see Sharing the CSD between CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 5 Release 3 and earlier releases.
- DDNAMES
- A list of ddnames that, if specified, are substituted for those normally used by the DFHCSDUP program.
- HDING
- The starting page number of any listing produced by the DFHCSDUP
program. You can use this parameter to ensure that subsequent invocations
produce logically numbered listings. If this parameter is not specified,
the starting page number is set to 1.
The page number, if supplied, must be four numeric EBCDIC characters.
- DCBs
- The addresses of a set of data control blocks for use internally
by the DFHCSDUP program. Any DCBs (or ACBs) that you specify are used
internally, instead of those normally used by the DFHCSDUP program.
Note that if you specify both replacement DDNAMES and replacement DCBs, the alternative DCBs are used, but the alternative DDNAMES are disregarded.
- EXITS
- The addresses of a set of user exit routines to be invoked during processing of the DFHCSDUP program.
