You can refer to an existing data set by its user-supplied name.
In
some cases"
you may also have to include the descriptive qualifier.
For
example, if two
of
your data sets were named:
SMITH. PART1 .• ASM
SMITH. PART 1. DATA
and you want to refer to the latter " you should specify:
part 1. data
or specify the data set type as an EDIT command operand.
For example:
edit part1 new data
You can also create and edit partitioned data sets.
A partitioned
data set consists of one or more data sets called members.
Each member
can be created and edited' separately and each has a name.
The member
name is enclosed in parentheses and appended to the right of the fully
qualified data set name.
For example, the fully qualified name of
member MEM1 of the SMITH. PART1.DATA data set is:
SMITH. PART1. DATA (MEM1)
You need only use the user-supplied name and member name to refer to
the member.
The system appends the identification and descriptive
qualifiers and moves the member name to the end to form the fully
qualified name.
For example, to refer, to member MEMl you can specify:
part1( mem1)
or you might specify
part 1. data (mem1)
In tQe second example, the system will append only the identification
qualifier.
The £ollowing examPle uses the EDIT command to create member ONE of a
partitioned data set named JONES·. T42 .. DATA.
The second EDIT command,
creates member
'I'WO
of JONES.T42.DATA.
Note that the NEW operand must be
specified in both cases.
The third EDIT command, specifies that changes
are to be made to member ONE .•
