Function SD - SD File Display Utility (Administrator)

Note:
This function is not applicable if your installation uses dynamic SD files. Each dynamic SD file is a standard VSAM relative record dataset which can be handled using standard tools like IDCAMS.

This utility provides some administrator functions that allow you to maintain SD data sets.

Sensitive subfunctions of UUTIL SD can be restricted to individuals or groups of individuals by security exit UUSEX1.

If you select the SD function from the Administrator menu, the SD library statistics menu is displayed, the items of information given are self-explanatory:

From this menu you can perform any of the following:

  • Scroll the SD files directory forward PF8 or backwards PF7.

  • List the SD files directory starting from the name entered in the input field after the prompt Reposition to.

  • Delete SD files. To delete SD files, select the appropriate lines by entering "D" in the first column and pressing PF12. If you try to delete an SD file while it is in use by other programs, it is deleted only after the last program closes it. However, you are recommended not to delete SD files while they are in use.

  • Display records of an SD file. Select the appropriate line by placing the cursor on it and pressing PF5.

The following figure illustrates the display of a record of an SD file:

From this display, you can perform any of the following:

  • Scroll the record forward PF8 or backwards PF7.

  • Display part of a record starting with any displacement, entered in the field prompted Displacement in the header of the display.

  • Go to the previous record PF9 or to the next record PF10.

  • Display any existing record of the SD file by entering the record number in the field prompted Record in the header of the display.

  • Overwrite SD file name and/or TID number to display any other SD file.

  • Change contents of a record (PF5). After you have pressed PF5, both the hexadecimal and the character part of the display become unprotected and can be modified. You will be requested to confirm the change before the updated record is rewritten.
