Entering Data Set Names z/OS TSO/E User's Guide SA32-0971-00 |
|||||
The data set naming conventions simplify the use of data set names. If the data set name conforms to the conventions, you need to specify only the user-supplied name field when you refer to the data set in commands. When you specify only the user-supplied name, the system adds the prefix specified in your user profile, sometimes your user ID and, whenever possible, a descriptive qualifier. The system attempts to derive the descriptive qualifier from available information.
In some cases, however, the system prompts you for a descriptive qualifier. If you do not specify enough information, the system issues a message at your terminal requesting the required information.
Note: The system will not append qualifiers to any name enclosed in
single quotation marks.
