PARAMETER CARDS

PARAMETER CARDS


Everyone who will be submitting parameter cards to Production Control must have a library allocated before you can copy the parameter card. It is highly recommended you follow the new data set naming conventions. An example would be XXXXX.PARMCARD.LIB (Where XXXXX is your five character user id.) The partitioned data set need only be allocated once as the parameter cards will be members of the partitioned data set.

Option P ISPF/PDF Menu from the North Dakota University System Main Menu

Option 3 Utilities from the ISPF Primary Option Menu
