Output Dataset for Control Information

Here you enter a dataset name with path information, if necessary, for a new or able to overwrite dataset which includes all relevant information (except of course security information !) of chosen parameters and of done program tasks.

To enter an existing dataset and its path information into the input field, you can click on the “folder” symbol on the left side, choose a dataset, and click on the “Open” button of the dataset choose dialogue. Afterwards you can still edit the name in the input field as you like.

If the checkbox field is activated, only error and necessary dialogue information shall be passed on screen and transferred to this dataset. Normal information is written neither to screen nor to this control dataset. Only “-- silence ! --“ is written into the control output window and a point in the next line shows that the actual program task has been ended successfully. If there is no error, no other messages are written to the control output window.

The program works with the ANSI character set (MS Windows), it doesn’t work with the OEM character set (MS-DOS character set) which is taken into account reading this control dataset later.
