Catalog ASSIGNs
Catalog ASSIGNs
Use the Catalog ASSIGNs screen to add new ASSIGNs to the attachments catalog.
You can also use the screen to inquire about, update, and delete ASSIGNs already in
the catalog.
ASSIGNs are used for file redirection or substitution. You can enter the logical name of
an ASSIGN in place of a physical file name in a program. ASSIGNs are similar to map
DEFINEs. However, ASSIGNs are usually processed by an application program,
whereas map DEFINEs are processed by the system.
ASSIGNs in the NetBatch-Plus catalog can be shared by any number of jobs. By using
these ASSIGNs, you can easily and quickly attach identical ASSIGNs to multiple jobs.
Instead of creating ASSIGNs for each job, you create only a single ASSIGN in the
catalog. You can then attach that ASSIGN to as many jobs as you want. Catalog
ASSIGNs also simplify ASSIGN maintenance. By updating the attributes of a catalog
ASSIGN, you automatically update those attributes for all jobs to which they apply.
You can attach catalog ASSIGNs to jobs by using the Job ASSIGNs screen. You can
also use that screen to override attributes of a catalog ASSIGN.
Displaying the Screen
You can display the Catalog ASSIGNs screen from any of these screens:
•
From the Main Menu screen, press F4.
•
From the Catalog PARAMs screen or any catalog DEFINEs screen, enter A or
ASSIGN in the Option field and press F13.
