Step 3: Defining the data set for well-known procedure names

z/OS® Communications Server includes a data set that contains a list of commonly used procedure names. This data set is used by the RPCINFO command to resolve remote program numbers into their equivalent program names.

To create the data set, copy SEZAINST(ETCRPC) to the default data set called hlq.ETC.RPC. If a user has a user_id.ETC.RPC data set defined, it takes precedence over the preceding data set.

Normally, you would not change this data set except to add a new application to the list. To add a new application, add a line that contains the following items:

The program_name of the new application or procedure
The program_number of the new application or procedure
Any comments regarding the description of the program

The items are variable in format, each separated by a blank.

The SEZAINST(ETCRPC) data set contains the well-known procedure names. The following sample is the ETCRPC sample.
