Step 11: Edit OPTION SELECT Statements File

Review and edit the OPTION SELECT statements generated in the previous step. These statements are located in the file referenced by DD statement DAOPTS in job CONVEMS2, which was run in Step 10.

  1. Delete statements for datasets that will never be referenced, for example, dataset names containing old dates or times.
  2. Delete statements for datasets created with a retention specified through JCL parameter EXPDT when the CA-EPIC/MVS installation parameter JCLOVRDE was set to YES.
  3. Use mask characters (* and ?) to combine statements with similar parameters. (For an explanation of mask characters, see the discussion of character masking in the online facilities chapter of the Control-M/Tape User Guide.)
