Data Set Naming Conventions z/OS TSO/E User's Guide SA32-0971-00 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to the rules, you can make use of certain naming conventions
that will make TSO/E easier for you to use. These conventions are
an offshoot of the rules. Thus a data set name that follows the naming
rules might not follow the naming conventions. The conventions are:
A data set name that consists of a prefix, a user-supplied name, and a descriptive qualifier is a "fully-qualified" data set name. A fully-qualified data set name looks like: When you refer to partitioned data sets, enclose the member name in parentheses immediately following the descriptive qualifier. A fully-qualified partitioned data set name looks like: You do not have to use the conventional descriptive qualifiers when naming a TSO/E data set. However, when a data set name adheres to the conventions, you can refer to the data set by an abbreviated version of the name, and the system supplies the rest of the name.
You must enclose the data set name in single quotation marks if you specify a fully-qualified data set name with a prefix (leftmost qualifier) that is not your own.
