Data element entry syntax (distribution and target zone)


Data element entry

Note:

After UCLIN changes are done, the data element entry must contain at least these subentries, unless the entire entry has been deleted:
- DISTLIB
- FMID
- RMID
The "Data Element MCS" section in SMP/E for z/OS Reference shows the types of data elements that can be specified for the element operand.
Some types of elements, such as panels, messages, or text, may have been translated into several languages. In these cases, the element operand contains xxx, which represents the language used for the element. (If an element was not translated, the element operand might not contain any xxx value.) SMP/E for z/OS Reference contains a table, "National Language Identifiers Used for Language-Unique Elements", that shows the xxx values and the languages they represent.

For a description of the subentries in data element entries, see SMP/E for z/OS Reference.
