Hi everyone,
I know that XDC is a command for saving the spool data after a JCL had been executed/run.
What I want to know is "Does XDC have any abbreviation? What was it's primary use? "
I'm working on this at present and am hoping to submit a two page report to my team.
I would like to request you out there to help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance. |

Without a tso terminal in front of me, I can't tell you what XDC stands for, Why don't you just look, like an F1?
IIRC, the "C" is CLOSE and the "D" is dataset, what do YOU think the "X" is for???? |

Thanks Ofer71.
PeD,
Well, XDC is an abbreviation. Accepted. 
The intended Question was "What does XDC stand for... or, XDC is an abbreviation for ___ "
Anyways, Thanks for the correction ! |

From Reading the Fine Manual:
"XDC" means "print and close" |

Yea, we already know that.
What does the "X" stand for?
"print and close"? What happened to the "D"?
You read the FM, provide complete answers  |

X means Print (or eXport) - They couldn't use P because that means 'Purge output'
(from the help screen)
X - Print. If a print file is not already open,
open and print to a default SYSOUT data set.
XS - Display the panel for specifying attributes of the
SYSOUT, then print to the SYSOUT.
XD - Display the panel for specifying attributes of a
data set, then print to the data set.
XF - Display the panel for specifying a preallocated DDNAME,
then print to the DDNAME.
XC, XSC, XDC, XFC - Print to and close the SYSOUT, data set, or
ddname. Closing the SYSOUT releases it for printing.
To use it you must first use XD to specify a dataset name
| Code: |
ISFPNO41 SDSF Open Print Data Set
COMMAND INPUT ===> SCROLL ===> CSR
Data set name ===> sdsf.output
Member to use ===>
Disposition ===> new (OLD, NEW, SHR, MOD)
If the data set is to be created, specify the following.
Volume serial will be used to locate existing data sets if specified.
Management class ===> (Blank for default management class)
Storage class ===> (Blank for default storage class)
Volume serial ===> (Blank for authorized default volume)
Device type ===> (Generic unit or device address)
Data class ===> (Blank for default data class)
Space units ===> BLKS (BLKS, TRKS, CYLS, BY, KB, or MB)
Primary quantity ===> 500 (In above units)
Secondary quantity ===> 500 (In above units)
Directory blocks ===> (Zero for sequential data set)
Record format ===> VBA
Record length ===> 240
Block size ===> 3120 |
Press enter and the sdsf output is written to file: userid.sdsf.output
then enter XC to close the dataset. |
