Input for DEDB Pointer Checker

To run the DEDB Pointer Checker function, you must specify input definitions, including the various control statements, for each program.

FABADA1 SYSIN DD data set
The SYSIN DD data set contains the FPB user's description of the processing to be done by module FABADA1. It describes the database and area to be analyzed, and it contains optional user's requests that further define the operating mode.
FABADA3 SYSIN DD data set
The SYSIN DD data set contains the FPB user's specification of some parameters used by module FABADA3. It describes the size of the internal segment table and the size of the address stack.
FABADA4 DAR4USER DD data set
The DAR4USER DD data set contains the user's description of the processing to be done by FABADA4. It contains the target relative byte addresses (RBAs). FABADA4 prints a list of all pointers that point to each target RBA. This data set is processed when DAR4USER or BOTH is specified on the FABADA4 EXEC PARM parameter.
FABADA5 PARMCTL DD data set
The PARMCTL DD data set contains the FPB user's specification of execution control parameters used by module FABADA5.
FABADA5 THRCTL DD data set
The THRCTL DD data set contains an optional control statement used by module FABADA5. It is used to specify threshold parameter values, which cause warning messages to be generated when the actual values do not meet the specified criteria.
FABADA5 UOWCTL DD data set
The UOWCTL DD data set contains optional control records that are used by module FABADA5. Each record of the data set specifies a range of UOW numbers of an area, which defines a UOW group of the area. The information about the UOW range is recorded in HISTORY2 DD in the order that is specified in the UOWCTL data set, even if the UOW ranges overlap or are in reverse order.
