Editing a Data Set File

Editing an existing data set file, requires a simple combination of the procedures described in the previous sections:

1.

Recall the data set file that you wish to edit (see 

“Recalling a Data Set File” on page 117

).

2.

Using the methods described in previous chapters, modify the active functional settings as desired.

3.

Store the modified settings as a data set file (see 

“Storing a New Data Set File” on page 115

). When choosing a filename, overwrite the 

original data set file by choosing the same filename for the modified settings.
