New Data Sets Page

The New Data Sets page is used to define default properties for data sets created when you:

• Drag-and-drop a file into a ChangeMan ZDD data set folder.

• Create a file in a ChangeMan ZDD data set folder using the Save As option in Windows.

Because files in data set folders actually exist on the z/OS server, the data set properties must be pre-defined.

Note

You can also create and copy data sets and members using ChangeMan ZDD commands. The defaults on the New Data Sets page are not used for these data sets. When you create a new data set using a ChangeMan ZDD command, you specify the properties for that data set (or use the properties of another data set as a model).

See the following topics for more information:

• Allocating Data Sets

• Copying Data Sets

• Creating a New Member

The following instructions explain how to set up default properties for specific data set name patterns. If no defaults are entered, the automatic default properties for the ** pattern will be applied.

The New Data Sets page of the DataSets folder properties.

Type a data set name pattern in the Dsname pattern text box.

Choose a data set type from the Data set type drop-down in the remaining fields as you would when allocating a data set using the 3.2 option of ISPF.

Click to add the properties.

To delete properties for a pattern, select the pattern name in the Data Set Name column in the list and click .

Note

The default properites for the ** pattern cannot be deleted, but they can be changed.

To change properties for a pattern, use one of the following methods:

• Delete it and add the new one.

• Repeat the add process and the old entry will be overlaid.

Data set properties are applied to data set name patterns in a hierarchical manner, from top to bottom. To change the order, use the buttons to reposition the entries.
