Displaying PTF level information (Option 2.6)

Overview

Option 2.6 enables you to display PTF level information and information on Beta Systems modules and CSECTs.

Navigation

From the "Service Manager Selection Menu" choose:

  • Option 2.6

    The "BETA Module Information" selection panel is displayed, where you can enter selection criteria to limit the number of hits.

Fields

Field

Description

Module Name or Mask

Module name, masks are allowed.

CSECT Name or Mask

CSECTs are relocatable units, all elements of which are to be loaded into adjoining main storage locations. Enter a CSECT name, masks are allowed.

Data Set Name or Mask

A fully qualified dataset name or a mask.

Specified Dataset only

NO means that a search for information is carried out as defined in fields Module Name or Mask and CSECT Name or Mask. Libraries are searched in the same order as they are loaded, namely:

  1. BnnLOAD library (nn = product number)
  2. ISPLLIB/BnnLLIB
  3. STEPLIB
  4. LINKLIST (LNKLST)
  5. LPALIB

A check on whether a search in a particular library is allowed is made on each dataset to be searched for information. If a search on the specified dataset is not allowed, the library will be skipped and the next one will be checked.

Libraries that do not permit searches are listed in a table. The table can be displayed using the primary command ?. The dataset names and reasons why access is not permitted are shown, for example, NOT AUTHORIZED.

YES means that a search is carried out on the dataset entered in the Data Set Name or Mask field (Note: No mask allowed if YES). A search will only be carried out on the dataset specified, not necessarily on all the libraries in load order. A search will also be made if the dataset is not allocated at the time of the online session.

Search LNKLST/LPA

YES means that the LINKLIST and LPA libraries are included in the search. You must confirm that these libraries are to be included because scanning these libraries may take a considerable amount of time.

NO is the default.

Search Destination

(S)TC means that the request is sent with the subsystem ID to the relevant started task in use and that information is retrieved from there. The library concatenation of the started task is scanned. This is the default.

(O)nline means that the current TSO user session will be scanned in the order of the relevant user's library concatenation. As a result, you will know which libraries are online. This may be of importance when errors associated with the user's online environment occur.

Max. Number of Entries

The maximum number of modules and CSECTs to be displayed is defined here. If more modules are found than can be displayed, you will receive a message.

BETA Module Information table

The "BETA Module Information" table displays PTF module information matching the selection criteria:

?

Displays all libraries where the search was not allowed

These libraries are listed in a table. In the table the dataset names and the reasons why access to the libraries is not possible is displayed, for example, NOT AUTHORIZED.

SORT

The following commands can be entered:

  • SORT MODULE (or SORT M)
  • SORT DDNAME (or SORT DD)
  • SORT DSNAME (or SORT DS)
  • SORT PTF

Note: The TPRINT command is not available in this table.
