27 Link Names / Files and Job Variables created by CFS

27 Link Names / Files and Job Variables created by CFS

The CFS link names relevant to the user are described below.

C1 First input file for the File Compare function. The user can assign this file as follows: /FILE file,LINK=C1. The link name C1 can then be specified in the COMP command instead of a file name.

C2 Second input file for the File Compare function. The user can assign this file as follows: /FILE file,LINK=C2. The link name C2 can then be specified in the COMP command instead of a file name.

CEXITnU User-specific message module for Connection n.

This link name can be used to link a module library from which the CFS Connection Handler could load a user-specific Connection Exit. 0 <= n <= 9 (Connection number). With /FILE oml,LINK=CEXITnU, the user can access an individual message input/output module. In this case, the CFS Standard CEXIT will not be called. The LOG and RES processes of the Connection Handler, as well as the command memory will not be available, or must be programmed within the users' own CEXIT.

CEXITnA User Exit called by the Standard-CEXIT of CFS.

With /FILE oml,LINK=CEXITnA, a user-specific post-processing module can be addressed. The Standard-CEXIT of CFS calls the CEXIT-A module after a successful message input. This process has the advantage that all Connection Services such as LOG, RES and the command memory are still available to the user. An example of a CEXIT-A can be found in CFS.S.LMSLIB, which converts all lower case characters to upper case in the entered message.

CFSCMD Startup File assigned by the user with a File command.

CFSCMD1 Like CFSCMD, except that the Startup File will also be processed by CFS in DO and Enter procedures (SETSW ON=1).

COMPLIST File containing a comparison protocol assigned by the user with a File command, for the File Compare function of CFS.

DISP Display File. By using a File command,

/FILE file,LINK=DISP,FCBTYPE=SAM,STATE=FOREIGN,RECFORM=..,RECSIZE=..,BLKSIZE=.. , tape files can also be displayed in the CFS Display Mode.

EDTSAM When reading in non-standard EDT files, CFS will issue a file command with this link name automatically. If multiple files are read into the various EDT work files, the EDTSAM link name will be erroneous, and can be deleted by the user with a /REL EDTSAM command.

HELPUSER Link Name for a user-specific Help file (see page 24-).

IFORMAT Format Catalog for the File Information System.

Normally, the Format Catalog will be named $TSOS.CFS.INF.FORMAT. The user can however assign a specific catalog with LINK=IFORMAT.

IFREE Holidays file for the Event Scheduling System. For further information, see page 14-.

INFCB / OUTFCB Link Names for the input and output files for the FC (File Conversion) command of CFS.

INFO INF Catalog for the File Information System.

Normally, the INF catalog is called CFS.INF / CFS.INF.JV / CFS.lib.INF / CFS.INF.JES. The user can assign an INF catalog which does not use the above convention with LINK=INFO.

JRSAVE A file assigned by the user with a File command for Parameter Sets (SP %name). Parameter Sets may contain complex search and replace commands, parameter assignments for DO procedures, as well as complex column definitions for an AD command. Activating the Parameter Set is achieved by the commands S,%name, DO %name, E %name or AD %name. If no File command with LINK=JRSAVE was specified, CFS will use the standard file, CFS.JRSAVE... . The exact rules by which the name of the standard JRSAVE file is determined is described later in the "Files and Job Variables created by CFS" section.

All relevant parameter sets can be displayed by entering %?, one of which can then be selected by marking it in the list.

MAPLIB Module library for the PL command (P-Key Load) and for the P key assignment in the menu file (see page 10- "Menu System for Connections"). If no library is specified with the link name MAPLIB, the P-Keys will be loaded from PLUS.MAPLIB.

MENUE Menu file assigned by the user with a File command for the Connection mask (see page 10- "Menu System for Connections").

MVSIMP Reading in MVS library elements to a BS2000 LMS library.

Under the MVS operating system, the contents of a PO (Partitioned Organised) library can be transferred to tape using the IEBUPDTE utility. The contents of this tape file can then be transferred to a BS2000 LMS library with the name LMS.MVSIMPORT by using the (MVSIMP) command. The tape file must be assigned in BS2000 before the (MVSIMP) command with a /FILE file,LINK=MVSIMP command. For further information, see Appendix 1 "Transferring Libraries from MVS to BS2000" on page A1-.

PDFILE Special print parameters contained in a PDFILE assigned by the user with a File command. If no File command with this link name was specified, the central CFS.PDFILE created by the system administrator will be used.

USERACT User-specific Action Codes contained in a USERACT file assigned by the user with a File command. The hierarchy by which the standard USERACT file will be established if no such link name exists is described on page 6-.

USERLIB Secondary Userlib assigned by the user with a File command. If no File command with this Link name was issued, a library with the name $userid.CFS.USERLIB.STD will be sought. $userid is the userid under which CFS and all other CFS-relevant files (e.g. CFSLIB, CFSHELP) are stored.
