CA Dynam for VSE User Guide

DYNCAT Commands
No validation is done on the eight bytes specified for period ending date. Dates
are normally used, but this field may also be used to store eight bytes of user
information about the version, if desired. If a period ending date field contains
nonblank characters, or a date different from the creation date, the contents
of the field will be printed on applicable reports.
When used for a dataset with PEDCYC=0, the PED field becomes simply a user
comment field associated with each version.
PEDCYC=
Optional parameter that specifies the number of versions of this dataset being
retained by period-ending-date control. Valid entry is:
nnn An integer value in the range 0-999.
Default is 0, which indicates that the PED field is a comment.
PrevFile=
Optional parameter. Specifies the prior file name when defining a multifile tape
dataset. Valid entries are:
a 1- to 44-character data set name enclosed in apostrophes.
PRIme=
PRIme=(sequence,volser,unit,q1,q2,SYSnnn)
