Event Lists are defined or modified in the Dataset Event Definition facility screens that are activated using REXX procedure IOACDDR.
The interface to the utility consists of two screens, as described in the following table:
Table 114 Screens in the Dataset Event Definition Facility
Screen |
Description |
---|---|
Event List |
Lists all dataset events defined by the user. This screen is displayed upon entry to the utility. |
Event Definition |
Used to define or modify specific events. When modifying an existing event, only a section of the Event Definition screen, called the Event Modification screen, is displayed. |
When the utility is accessed for the first time (when no events are yet defined for the user), the Event List screen is not displayed. Instead, the Event Definition screen is displayed directly. After one or more events are defined, the Event List screen is displayed upon entry to the utility.
Your user ID is automatically displayed at the top of both screens because Control‑M checks security authorization before implementing the request.
Only one user at a time can edit a particular Event list. Other users can access that Event list in browse mode only.
The following table describes the types of operations that can be specified for events in the Event list:
