IBM S544-5285-01 Using ACIF in the VM Environment

MSGDD

Defines the DDname for the message data set. When ACIF processes a

print data set, it can issue a variety of informational or error messages. If

MSGDD is not specified as an invocation parameter, ACIF uses SYSPRINT

as the default DDname and stops processing if SYSPRINT is not defined.

Although the sample shows a specified REGION size of 3MB, this value can

vary, depending on the complexity of the input data and the conversion and

indexing options requested.

INPUT

This DD statement defines the print data set to be processed by ACIF. In the

sample in Figure 20 on page 81, this is the same data set as defined in the

PRINTOUT DD statement.

OUTPUT

This DD statement defines the name of the print data set that ACIF creates as

a result of processing the application's print data set. See Figure 20 on

page 81 for the DCB requirements.

RESOBJ

This DD statement defines the name of the resource data set that ACIF creates

as a result of processing the print data set. This statement is not required if

RESTYPE=NONE is specified in the processing parameter data set. See page

INDEX

This DD statement defines the name of the index object file that ACIF creates

as a result of processing the application's print data set.

This parameter is not required unless indexing is requested or unless the input

print data set contains indexing structured fields. If you are not sure whether

the print data set contains indexing structured fields, and you do not want an

index object file created, specify DD DUMMY; no index object file will be

created.

SYSPRINT

If you are not writing messages to spool, the data set must have the following

attributes: LRECL=137,BLKSIZE= multiple of LRECL + 4 RECFM=VBA.

SYSIN

This DD statement defines the data set containing the ACIF processing

parameters. This is the default DDname if PARMDD is not specified as an

invocation parameter.

Note: Files named by the FDEFLIB, PDEFLIB, PSEGLIB, and OVLYLIB

parameters are allocated to system-generated DDnames.

Using ACIF in the VM Environment

Figure 21 on page 83 contains sample VM/CMS commands to invoke ACIF to

process print output from an application.
