Hello,
Your program will identify the index usage - no special mention in the JCL is needed.
Please clarify your question about PATH - what is it you want to know? |

The PATH connects the base cluster to the AIX.
All is explained in the IDCAMS manual, available from the manuals link above. |

You supply the path of the alternate index and not the base cluster name in the JCL
eg.
If the base cluster's name is XXX.YYY.ZZZ and the path is XXX. YYY.PATH01 then if you are using AIX, you supply the path name but not the base cluster name in the JCL
//JOB..............
//EXEC PGM=A
//VSFILE1 DD DSN=XXX.YYY.PATH01,DISP=SHR
and not
//VSFILE1 DD DSN=XXX.YYY.ZZZ,DISP=SHR |
