Define name of static subsystem catalog
Function
This statement declares the name of a new static subsystem catalog. The SSD objects containing the definitions of the subsystems can then be inserted in this file.
START-CATALOG-CREATION will be rejected and an error message issued if a file of the same name already exists, or if the same catalog entry has been created using CREATE-FILE. The definition is terminated by saving the new catalog (SAVE-CATALOG statement ).
However, if there are two consecutive START-CATALOG-CREATION or START-CATALOG-MODIFICATION statements, the following message will appear in interactive jobs:
SCM0011 DO YOU REALLY WANT TO OVERWRITE MEMORY CATALOG '(&00)'? REPLY (Y/N)
If the reply is Y, the reserved memory space will be released, and the declared attributes of the catalog will be abandoned.
If the reply is N, the second START-CATALOG-CREATION statement is considered invalid and the first statement can be terminated by SAVE-CATALOG.
In the case of batch jobs, the response Y is given implicitly.
