Relationship to other parameters z/OS MVS JCL Reference SA23-1385-00 |
|||||||||
Only the following JCL parameters can be used
with the PATH parameter:
Do not code PATHDISP, PATHMODE, or PATHOPTS on a DD statement without a PATH parameter. Do not code a PATH parameter on the following DD statements:
Coding the PATH parameter is useful only when the following is
true:
If:
Then MVS™ performs an open() function. The options from PATHOPTS, the pathname from the PATH parameter, and the options from PATHMODE (if specified) are used in the open(). MVS uses the close() function to close the file before the application program receives control. For status group options other than OCREAT and OEXCL, the description in this documentation assumes that the application passes the subparameters to the open() function without modification. That is, this application uses dynamic allocation information retrieval (the DYNALLOC macro) to retrieve the values specified for PATHOPTS and passes the values to the open() function. The application program can ignore or modify the information specified in the JCL. |
