Associate Property Group

Tool Attribute:

Attribute	Type	Description
Enable System Selection Dialog	Boolean	Specifies whether a dialog should open to select an IDz z/OS Server connection if no valid mapping is defined in the Micro Focus z/Server connection. The behavior of the tool based on this attribute is described in the table below.

Function:

This tool associates an IDz property group to a file. Local IDz property groups can only be associated with local files and remote property groups can only be associated with MVS sequential data sets or PDS members.

Parameters:

Parameter No	I/O	Type	Description
1 [M]	I	File	File input parameter pointing to the file with which the property group is associated.
2 [M]	I	String	Logical name of the property group that it should be associated with.

The file input parameter can have one of the following types:

MVS_PO_Member or MVS_SEQ -> the remote property group with the given logical name is associated with the remote member.
Workspace_File -> the local property group with the given logical name is associated with the local file.

If the property group is from parameter type USER_INPUT, a selection dialog appears with all the existing property groups on the system. The property group that is already associated with the member is pre-selected. You have to select the property group that is associated with the input file.
