GROUP=name
The contents of a DCT is migrated in a group or several groups. Code the GROUP=name operand with a group name of up to eight characters in length. If you want your macro definitions to go into the default group, specify GROUP=*DEFAULT.

For migration purposes, DCTs must be link-edited at the current release level with AMODE(24) and RMODE(24). To ensure this, you must specify a DFHDCT TYPE=(INITIAL,MIGRATE) statement in your DCT. Failure to do so causes the DFHDCT macro to force AMODE(31), which results in errors when running DFHCSDUP.
