F_CYCLE_TYPE
Functions of PCFP
Indicates whether F_CYCLE contains an absolute F-cycle value, a relative F-cycle
value, or no F-cycle value.
Data Type: value-list
UNSPECIFIED = 0
An F_CYCLE_TYPE of UNSPECIFIED refers to the latest F-cycle of an F-cycle
series, except for functions that apply to an entire F-cycle series (these are
CHG_FILE_CYC, CHG_FILE_SEC, CHG_FILE_KEYS, and CHG_FILE_NAME). For
the functions that apply to an entire F-cycle series, the calling program must set
this item to UNSPECIFIED.
ABS = 1
REL = 2
F_CYCLE
Indicates the F-cycle of the file. If the calling program sets F_CYCLE_TYPE =
UNSPECIFIED, it must set this item to 0. If the calling program sets F_CYCLE_TYPE
= ABS, it must set this item to a value between 1 and 999 inclusive. If the calling
program sets F_CYCLE_TYPE = REL, it must set this item to a value between -31
and 1 inclusive.
Data Type: signed integer range (-31 through 999)
READ_KEY
Indicates the read key that PCFP is to use to assign the file. If the calling program
supplies a null value for this item, PCFP uses no read key when it attempts to assign
the file. If the file is already assigned prior to calling PCFP, PCFP ignores this item.
Data Type: characters (6)
WRITE_KEY
Indicates the write key that PCFP is to use to assign the file. If the calling program
supplies a null value for this item, PCFP uses no write key when it attempts to
assign the file. If the file is already assigned prior to calling PCFP, PCFP ignores this
item.
