Issue/Introduction

There may be a need to rename one or more of the SMP/E-controlled files for a product. While it is easy to rename the files themselves in the catalog, other tools that maintain an internal repository of file names are not automatically updated.

In SMP/E, these files are defined using the DDDEF parameter. This article shows a simple JCL stream that can be used to list the contents of the DDDEFs in the CSI.

Resolution

In a CSI, as there can be multiple zones, you can list the DDDEFs associated to the global zone or each defined zone as well as for all zones in a single report.

Here is the base JCL you can use for all of this:

//*                                             
//LISTSMPE EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,REGION=4096K         
//SMPCSI   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DCMLV1.AX15G0.CSI    
//SMPLOG   DD DUMMY                             
//SMPHOLD  DD DUMMY                             
//SMPOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                          
//SMPRPT   DD SYSOUT=*                          
//SMPLIST  DD SYSOUT=*                          
//SMPSNAP  DD SYSOUT=*                          
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                          
//SMPCNTL  DD *
<<your control statements go here>>
/*    

To list a single zone (for CA Datacom, you can set the boundary to Global, CAID0, or CAIT0), use these control statements:

      SET BDY(zone name).  
      LIST DDDEF.      

To list all the DDDEFs for all zones in the CSI, use these control statements (note that you still need to enter a valid zone first even though all zones are listed):

      SET BDY(zone name).  
      LIST DDDEF ALLZONES.
