ZosPackageInfo

The ZosPackageInfo object represents a set of package properties that can be used to create a new package.

An empty ZosPackageInfo object can be created using the default constructor. You can then set the desired ZosPackageInfo properties before using it to create a new package.

You can clone the properties of another package using the GetInfo method of ZosPackage to copy the properties of an existing package set into a new ZosPackageInfo object. There is also one form of the ZosPackageInfo constructor that initializes the properties from an existing package. This cloned ZosPackageInfo object can be used to create a new package after making any desired changes to its properties.

ZosPackageInfo Constructors

The default constructor can be used to create a new ZosPackageInfo object. Because the constructor has no arguments, you must initialize the object by setting its properties.

ZosPackageInfo()

ZosPackageInfo()

ZosPackageInfo(ZosPackage)

This constructor copies the properties from an existing package.

ZosPackageInfo(  
        ZosPackage package 
        )

Parameters

package - Existing package from which to copy properties.
