To define libraries

On the menu panel for defining an environment, select the LIBRARIES option (option 3). You see the panel for defining application libraries. Type in the information from the information sheet for the environment (see Information Sheet for Environments).

Note: All libraries that you specify must be cataloged in the system before the invocation of the application.

Enter the library type in the TYPE column, ddnames in the NAME column, and the corresponding data sets in the DATA SET column.

If you enclose the data set name in quotes, that name is the fully-qualified data set name that is used during allocation. If you do not enclose the data set name in quotes, the user's TSO/E prefix is used as the high-level qualifier of the data set to be allocated. If the user has used the PROFILE NOPREFIX command, the data set name is used as specified, no matter whether it is enclosed in quotes or not.

Figure 1 shows examples of data sets on the Application Libraries panel.
