The task is an internal function which creates the Enterprise Extensions data set definitions for a concatenated DD. The task is part of the automated zPackaging Language Definition process.

Attributes

The task supports Build Extensions Debugging Attributes and Build Extensions General Attributes, as well as, its own task specific attributes. Click on a link for more information on the common attributes.

The following table describes the task specific attributes for the task:

Task Specific Attributes
Attribute	Description	Required
description	Specify a description for the concatenation. This description will be used to construct the data set definition description in one of the following forms: description - SYSLIB Concatenation dsName description - SYSLIB Concatenation DSN description - TASKLIB Concatenation dsName description - TASKLIB Concatenation DSN	Yes
name	Specify the name for the concatenation. This name will be used to construct the data set definition name in one of the following forms: name.SYSLIB.dsName name.SYSLIB.DSN name.TASKLIB.dsName name.TASKLIB.DSN	Yes

SyslibDsDef Elements

A syslibDsDef element is specified within the element. Each syslibDsDef element identifies a data set in the concatenation. The following table describes the valid syslibDsDef attribute values:

SyslibDsDef Element Attributes
Attribute	Description	Required
dsDefUsageType	Specify an integer usage type for the data set. The default is 3. The valid usage types are: 0 - zFolder 1 - New 2 - Temporary 3 - Existing	No
dsn	Specify the z/OS data set name.	Yes
name	Specify a name for the data set. The name will be used to create the data set definition name as described above (dsName). Each name must be unique; duplicate names are not allowed. If a name is not specified, a generated name will be used.	No
nonImpacting	Specify `true` if the data set definition is non-impacting and `false` if not. The default is `true`.	No
prefixDSN	Specify `true` if this is a prefixed z/OS data set name and `false` if not. The default is `false`.	No
zFolder	Specify `true` if this is a zFolder and `false` if not. The default is `false`.	No

TasklibDsDef Elements

A tasklibDsDef element is specified within the element. Each tasklibDsDef element identifies a data set in the concatenation. The following table describes the valid tasklibDsDef attribute values:

TasklibDsDef Element Attributes
Attribute	Description	Required
dsDefUsageType	Specify an integer usage type for the data set. The default is 3. The valid usage types are: 0 - zFolder 1 - New 2 - Temporary 3 - Existing	No
dsn	Specify the z/OS data set name.	Yes
name	Specify a name for the data set. The name will be used to create the data set definition name as described above (dsName). Each name must be unique; duplicate names are not allowed. If a name is not specified, a generated name will be used.	No
nonImpacting	Specify `true` if the data set definition is non-impacting and `false` if not. The default is `true`.	No
prefixDSN	Specify `true` if this is a prefixed z/OS data set name and `false` if not. The default is `false`.	No
zFolder	Specify `true` if this is a zFolder and `false` if not. The default is `false`.	No

Examples

Define a SYSLIB concatenation within a zPackaging Language Definition macro:

<es: name="@{id}.compiler" description="Compiler SYSLIB Concatenation">
    <dsn.compiler.SYSLIB/>
</es:>
