In this example, the VVDS is diagnosed and the BCS and VVDS are compared. The BCS and the VVDS are passed as data set names.

Job control language statement:

• DIAGDD DD specifies the input data set, SYS1.VVDS.VPERM03.

The DIAGNOSE command diagnoses VVDS and compares the BCS, CAT002, with the VVDS. The parameters are:

• VVDS specifies that the input data set is a VVDS.
• INFILE identifies the DD statement, DIAGDD, containing the VVDS for diagnosis.
• COMPAREDS indicates that comparison checking is to occur and specifies the data set name of the BCS, CAT002.
