Operands

zone1

specifies the name of the input zone to be imported. This is the name of the zone that was exported.

Note:

If you are importing a global zone, you must specify GLOBAL.
If you are importing a target or distribution zone, you can keep the same zone name or rename the zone:
- If you are keeping the same zone name, you must specify the same zone here and on the SET BOUNDARY command.
- If you are renaming the zone, this zone name is different from the one specified on the SET BOUNDARY command.

INFILE

specifies the name of the DD statement that defines the input data set created by the ZONEEXPORT command. You can import only a data set that was created by the ZONEEXPORT command.

Note: INFILE can also be specified as IFILE.

INTO

specifies the name of the receiving zone. This must match the name specified on the SET BOUNDARY command. If the INTO operand specifies a global zone, or you are importing a target or distribution zone to a new CSI data set, you should make sure you have allocated the CSI data set before you run the ZONEIMPORT command, and initialize it with a GIMZPOOL record. Do not add any other entries or subentries to the zone.

Note: If the INTO operand specifies a target or distribution zone, the global zone must already contain a ZONEINDEX subentry specifying the name of that zone and the name of the CSI data set containing that zone.

OPTIONS

specifies the name of the OPTIONS entry to use for processing the receiving zone. The OPTIONS subentry in the zone definition of the receiving zone is set to the specified name.

RC

changes the maximum return codes allowed for the specified commands. These return codes determine whether SMP/E can process the ZONEIMPORT command.

Before SMP/E processes the ZONEIMPORT command, it checks whether the return codes for the specified commands are less than or equal to the values specified on the RC operand. If so, SMP/E can process the ZONEIMPORT command. Otherwise, the ZONEIMPORT command fails. For more information about the RC operand, see Processing the SMP/E RC operand.

Note:

The RC operand must be the last operand specified on the command.
If you do specify the RC operand, return codes for commands not specified do not affect processing for the ZONEIMPORT command. Therefore, if you use the RC operand, you must specify every command whose return code you want SMP/E to check.

RELATED

specifies the name of the target or distribution zone to which the receiving zone is related. The RELATED subentry in the zone definition of the receiving zone is set to the specified name.
