The built-in Panvalet Suffix Table may be replaced by including a special DD card in the Mainframe Access task JCL as follows:
//PANSUFX DD DSN=hlq.MFA.CNTL(PANVALET),DISP=SHR
During initialization, this text file is analyzed and a new Suffix Table is created dynamically. The first entry defines a default language type to be used if no match is found in the table. The following extract illustrates the free-form format of the text file:

In this way, customers may change the search order, the suffix name, and the Panvalet ADD options to meet their needs. You may have already compiled a custom Suffix Table from Mainframe Access Version 2. A migration tool is provided to convert this configuration back into a text file which may be presented to Mainframe Access Version 3.
