Dsname specification - Key = '0002'

DINDSNAM specifies the dsname of the allocated resource about which you are requesting information. The data set name can contain special characters if the data set name is enclosed in apostrophes. The dsname can contain system symbols. See the topic on using system symbols and system symbols in z/OS MVS JCL Reference for more information. Start of changeIf the data set you specify is allocated to more than one ddname, Dynamic Information Retrieval will retrieve information based on the first ddname allocated to the specified dsname.End of change It is mutually exclusive with the ddname (DINDDNAM), relative entry (DINRELNO), and pathname (DINPATH) keys. When you code DINDSNAM, # must be one, LEN is the length of the dsname, and PARM contains the dsname.

The maximum length of the data set name is 44 characters, excluding any enclosing apostrophes and compressing any double apostrophes within the data set name.

Example: To specify the dsname MYDATA, code:
KEY    #      LEN    PARM
0002   0001   0006   D4 E8 C4 C1 E3 C1
