• The following example illustrates the fields used to define data (DEPTNAME) and location (LOCATION) parameters. To view additional fields, use PF11.

_ LOCATION I C 16 0 L
You can use a data parameter to read data from a partitioned data set or a directory. The parameter value you provide becomes the data set member name or the filename in the directory.
If the Syntax is and the Length is the parameter value as a member name of a partitioned data set (z/OS) or a file within a directory (Open Systems). the parameter value as an indicator for multiple record types or repeating groups. Refer to Chapter 4, Defining Import Tables for Files with Multiple Record Formats for more information.
• If IDgen=Y, you cannot use the data parameter to view different members of a partitioned data set (PDS).You use a location parameter to access external data through a peer server associated with another Data Object Broker (remote node). If you do not need to access remote data, use the D line command to delete the parameter. If you always access the external file remotely, the node from which you request the access can have either a minimal or full definition.A minimal definition with a location parameter means you always access data at a remote node. A minimal definition consists of the following:The location parameter indicates that you always access data at a remote node. The name of the remote node where the full definition is located must be supplied in the Default field, Src field, or Src and Sourcename fields.The table type specified in a minimal definition does not have to match the table type of the full definition on the remote node.A full table definition with a location parameter means you can access data at either the local or the remote node. The table type of the full definition must match the data on the local node. For example, a full definition of type TDS used to access TDS data on the local node can also be used to access an import table with the same name on a remote node.TIBCO Object Service Broker Managing Data for more information on defining parameters.
