Specifying Non-Standard Data Set Names

ISETUP asks you for the high-level qualifier for your current production version of FOCUS. Based on this qualifier and a list of all of the standard data set names (low level qualifiers), ISETUP installs all the necessary FOCUS libraries. The list of low level qualifiers ISETUP uses is in member FOCSNAME in the F.HOME.DATA data set:

• If you use non-standard low level qualifiers for your FOCUS data sets, you must edit this file. Once you have done this, ISETUP will use these qualifiers for future installs as well as the current one.
• If you use multiple prefixes for your FOCUS data sets, you can edit this file to specify the correct data set names.

Important: You must use the version of FOCSNAME provided for the current release, not the version from a previous installation.

If you use only the standard FOCUS data set names, you do not have to perform this step.

Note: Only ISETUP uses FOCSNAME. FOCUS, once installed, does not use this member.

To edit FOCSNAME, open member FOCSNAME in the F.HOME.DATA data set and follow the instructions entered as comments at the top of the file.

The following is an example of a partial listing of the FOCSNAME member. The contents of this member may change over time, but should be simliar to the following.

//*********************************************************************
//*Purpose: To Allow the setting of site specific low level qualifiers*
//*         for z/OS PDS FOCUS install process                        *
//*                                                                   *
//*         Change the values below for the different datasets that   *
//*         may be allocated by the installation process. Keep in     *
//*         mind that a "qualifier" will be used as a suffix to these *
//*         names so be careful as to length.                         *
//*                                                                   *

//         SET  EDACSQL=&CONFTYPE..SQL
//         SET  FOCUSSU=&CONFTYPE..FOCUSSU.FOCUS

As described, where necessary overwrite each standard name with your non-standard name.

For example, if you use the name CONFIG.DATA for your production configuration library, change the following line:

// SET  EDACCFG=&CONFTYPE..CFG        Configuration files         

It should now say:

// SET  EDACCFG=&CONFTYPE..CONFIG.DATA       Configuration files
