Description

datasetname

The TSO data set to copy. The data set name is specified in either of the following ways:

• A partial TSO name without single quotation marks.

  A fully qualified data set name is generated by using your TSO prefix as the first qualifier and appending the object type as the last qualifier.

• A fully qualified TSO data set name where the entire name is enclosed in single quotation marks.

  This form must be used when the data set name has a prefix that is not your own.

objectname

The name for the QMF object in the database.

tablename

The name for the table in the database.

For an existing database object this can be the name of a TABLE, VIEW, SYNONYM, or ALIAS.

ACTION

Indicates whether to replace the entire database table with the imported data or to append the imported data to the existing table.

LANGUAGE

Indicates whether QMF keywords contained within the imported form are recorded in English or in the current NLF session language.

A QMF form containing QMF keywords in English can be used in any QMF session. A QMF form containing QMF keywords in a QMF national language can be used only in a session of that same QMF national language.

MEMBER

Indicates the imported object is a member in a TSO partitioned data set.

membername

The name of the member to import. Member names are limited to 8 characters. The member name is added (in parentheses) as a suffix to the data set name.

CONFIRM

Indicates whether a confirmation panel is displayed when this command will replace an existing object in the database.

SHARE

Determines whether other QMF users can access the imported object.

COMMENT

Stores a comment with the imported object. Comments up to 78 single-byte characters long can be recorded with this option.

value

The character string that makes up the content of the comment.

A value that contains blank characters must be surrounded with delimiters. Valid delimiters for a comment value are single quotes, parentheses, and double quotes. When the delimiters are double quotes, the double quotes are included as part of the comment.
