Extension mapping

The Map choice on the tool integrator action bar enables you to associate a workstation file extension of up to 3 characters with a host data set type. The host data set type is the last qualifier of the data set. These are frequently longer than 3 characters, while most workstation file extensions are 3 or less. The Extension Mapping dialog panel, shown in Figure 1, shows how certain host data set types map to their workstation file extension counterparts.

To map a host to workstation pair, perform one of these actions:

In the Action field, type R to repeat a previous mapping, I to insert a new mapping, or D to delete a current mapping.
In the Host Type field, type the last qualifier of the host data set to be mapped.
In the Workstation Extension field, type the extension name to be used for the temporary workstation file created.
Press Enter.

If you attempt to use a host data set on a workstation and you have not mapped the data set type to one on your workstation, the first 3 characters of the data set type are used by default.
