INFILE

ddname
The ddname for an INFILE data set cannot be the same as the ddname for any other data sets used by SMP/E. Other than this, there are no restrictions.
Use
The INFILE data set is a sequential data set containing a zone that is to be loaded by the ZONEIMPORT command. The ddname of this sequential data set is specified on the INFILE operand of the ZONEIMPORT command. The zone in the INFILE data set can be used in two ways:
  • To recreate a zone that was destroyed
  • To recreate a zone on another CSI data set

You must use the ZONEEXPORT command to create the INFILE data set. (This same data set is called the OUTFILE data set when it is created by the ZONEEXPORT command.)

Attributes
Sequential; no DCB parameters are required.

If the INFILE data set is on tape, there may be more than one volume for an exported data set. Remember to specify all the volume serial numbers on the INFILE DD statement.

Device
Tape or direct access.
Note: BLKSIZE must not exceed 32760.
