CLASS control statement
IMS™ Index Builder uses data sets to pass data between the sort, scan, and master address spaces. These data sets exist only for the duration of the run. By default, they are allocated with the high-level qualifier IIU.STRIPE. The CLASS control statement can be used to specify a different high-level qualifier.
>>-CLASS--qualifier--+--------+-------------------------------->< '-.%TIME-'
- CLASS
- Specifies that this is a CLASS statement.
- qualifier
- Specifies a high-level qualifier of the stripe data sets. If %TIME is not specified, the maximum length is 17 characters.
- .%TIME
- Specifies that IMS Index Builder replaces %TIME with the time when the job started in Thhmmsst format. For example, the high-level qualifier might be IIU.STRP.T2359599. The maximum length is 17 characters in total.
Tip: You can override the default value
in the runtime parameters module. See the explanation of the IIURDFLT
CLASS entry in Defining runtime parameters.
