Modifying the ACF
USER-SUBVOL user-subvol 
The parameter specifies the location where EMS FastStart will 
create all the source and object files. EMS FastStart creates files 
on behalf of the user. Therefore, the user must have CREATE 
access on the designated USER-SUBVOL.
USER-SUBVOL-
FILES-PREFIX
user-subvol-file-prefix 
The parameter specifies the prefix that EMS FastStart will use to 
build the filenames of each file in the subvolume specified by 
USER-SUBVOL. For example, APP1 will be used to create the 
following files: APP1DDLS, APP1EGES, APP1INDX, etc.
SAVE-DDL--
DICTIONARY
user-subvol-file-prefix 
The parameter specifies if the DDL dictionary created in the 
subvolume specified by the USER-SUBVOL parameter will be 
saved. Valid parameter values are YES (save the dictionary) and 
NO (do not save the dictionary; purge it). This dictionary will 
contain all the definitions for ZSPIDDL and ZEMSDDL plus your 
own subsystem definitions (tokens and events). This dictionary is 
required if you want to use the DSM Template Services and create 
templates for your application.
USER-DDL--FILE user-subvol-file-prefix 
The parameter specifies the name of a user defined DDL source 
file. Valid parameter values are file-name (a valid DDL source 
file) and NOT-USED (do not source a file). The content of this file 
will be sourced at the end of the MAIN DDL file and added to the 
dictionary. You may use this file to source your event definitions, 
which will then be used later by the DSM Template Services for 
generating your application template file.
USER-VARIABLES-
PREFIX
user-variables-prefix 
The parameter is used to make EGEN variable names unique. The 
name cannot be longer than four characters, must start with a 
letter and must contain only alphanumeric characters. For 
example: A123, Z111, ZZZZ, ABCD, etc. The token names 
created by EMS FastStart will also use this prefix. For example: 
PROGRAM-NAME will have an associated token called ATM-
TKN-PROGRAM-NAME (If the USER-VARIABLES-PREFIX is 
AT M ) .
