Field Descriptions
ASSIGN Name
Use the ASSIGN Name field to enter the logical name you want to use as a substitute
for the physical file name. You can enter the logical name in any of these forms:
logical-file
program-unit.logical-file
*.logical-file
logical-file
is the logical file name as it appears in the program file (for example,
DAILY-TRANSACTION-FILE). The name can contain from 1 through 31 letters,
numbers, hyphens (-), and circumflexes (^). The first character must be a letter.
program-unit
is the name of the program unit to which the assignment applies (for example,
GLEDGER). The make-up of the name is the same as the name of the logical file.
*
applies the assignment to all program units in the program file being run.
Catalog Set
Use the Catalog Set field to specify the defaults set to which the catalog ASSIGN
named in the Catalog Name field belongs. You must specify the defaults set before you
can display attributes of the ASSIGN with the F7–Read Catalog function.
Catalog Name
Use the Catalog Name field to specify the catalog ASSIGN whose attributes you want
to display with the F7–Read Catalog function. The ASSIGN must belong to the defaults
set you specified in the Catalog Set field.
You must have use access to a catalog ASSIGN to attach it to a job and override its
attributes.
Physical Filename
Use the Physical Filename field to enter the name of the actual file.
The file name must be a Guardian file name. If you enter a partial name, the
NetBatch-Plus application uses the system, volume, and subvolume specified for the
defaults set to expand the name. The Volume field on the Defaults Set Details screen
displays these values.
