The search for the user-specific and pubset-global rule containers involves two stages:
Stage 1: | Search for user-specific rule containers |
The rule container SYS.UDF or SYS.UDJ is searched for under the catalog and user ID of the file or job variable for which the default values are to be searched. If it does, the search is terminated and the rule is evaluated. | |
Stage 2: | Search for pubset-global rule containers |
If stage 1 of the search does not locate a matching rule, then a pubset-global rule container $TSOS.SYS.PDF or $TSOS.SYS.PDJ is searched for under the same catid. If such a rule is located, the search is terminated. |
If the second stage of the search fails to yield a result; the usual system default values are used.
