EGL Reference Guide for iSeries

System name

To access a local VSAM file, specify the system name in the resource associations part and use the naming convention that is appropriate to the operating system. To access a remote VSAM file from the EGL debugger or from EGL-generated Java code, specify the system name in the following way:

  \\machineName\qualifier.fileName
machineName
The SNA LU alias name as specified in the SNA configuration
qualifier.fileName
The VSAM data set name, including a qualifier

The naming convention is similar to the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format. For details on UNC format, refer to the Distributed FileManager User's Guide, which is in the following file in your EGL installation directory:

  workbench\bin\VSAMWIN.zip
