Some services support the specification of ddnames for output such as reports and messages. If specified, these are automatically allocated before the service is invoked.

You can specify a data set prefix to be used when assigning names for the data sets allocated for a service. You do this through the Options —► Set Services Data Sets Prefix action bar choice. This option is available on the panels for each service that allocates data sets and on the SCLM FLMCMD Services Menu.
