2 - GENERAL DSUPDT USAGE

dsupdt [[-(DS|Dataset)] dNNNNNN] [Action Option] [Mode Options] [Info Options]

or

dsupdt [-(IF|InputFile)] InputFileNames

Notation:

[]	the enclosed element is optional.
(A|B)	either A or B may be used (a short form and a long form).
<OPT>	OPT is an option name. Names are case-insensitive; values are not.

Every dsupdt invocation has at most one Action option, which selects the task to perform. Mode options change how the chosen action behaves. Info options carry the data the action needs (dataset IDs, file names, dates, etc.). Each action documents which Info options are required and which are optional.

Option -DS (-Dataset) supplies a dataset number. When it is the first argument after dsupdt, the option name itself may be omitted. Some actions can run without a dataset number, in which case they apply to all matching update control or file records across datasets.

Many options have an alias for convenience; both short and long forms are accepted, and aliases are noted with each option.
