Translate tables

The translate tables are referenced to determine the translate data sets to be used.

The search order that is used to access this configuration file is as follows. The search order ends at the first file found:

  1. userid/jobname.STANDARD.TCPXLBIN

    userid is the user ID that is associated with the current security environment (address space or task/thread).

    jobname is the name that is specified on the JOB JCL statement for batch jobs or the procedure name for a started procedure.

  2. hlq.STANDARD.TCPXLBIN

    hlq represents the value of the DATASETPREFIX statement that is specified in the base resolver configuration file (if found); otherwise, hlq is TCPIP by default.

  3. If no table is found, the resolver uses a hardcoded default table that is identical to the STANDARD member in the SEZATCPX data set.
Tip: You can use a JCL DD statement to preallocate the STANDARD.TCPXLBIN data set and prevent the resolver from dynamically allocating it. The name on the DD statement can be any valid ddname. Preallocation prevents the dynamic allocation messages (for example, IEF237I and IEF285I) from being written to the job output log.
