LU Group Entry
Use this panel to add LUs to a group. Select either an Individual LU or an LU
range using fixed base.
Before you begin, decide whether you want to add an Individual LU
or an LU range.
If you decide on an Individual LU, click on Individual
LU and:
-
Enter an LU name.
You can also enter a system symbolic (begin with an ampersand, include
at least one character and end with a period, as in LU&MVS1.01).
-
Click OK
If you decide on an LU range, click on LU range using
fixed base, and keep in mind these rules as you enter numbers:
-
The total length of LUbase+Lower range or LUbase+Upper range must be less
than or equal to eight characters.
-
The number of LU names in one range is limited to 4294967295.
- The first LU name in the range is generated using the fixed base concatenated to the lower range.
The second LU name is generated using the fixed base concatenated to the lower range incremented by one.
This pattern continues up to the upper range.
For example, if the base is defined as XXX, the lower range defined as 11 and the upper range defined as
22, then the following LUs will be generated: XXX11, XXX12, XXX13, XXX14, XXX15, XXX16, XXX17, XXX18, XXX19,
XXX20, XXX21 and XXX22.
- The ranges can be specified as either numeric as in the above example, or as alphabetic.
- Following is an example using an alphabetic range if the base is defined as XXX, the lower range is defined
as AY and the upper range defined as BF, then the following LUs will be generated:
XXXAY, XXXAZ, XXXBA, XXXBB, XXXBC, XXXBD, XXXBE, and XXXBF.
- When using a numeric range, Lower range and Upper range must both be integers
with the same number of digits. Upper range must be greater than lower range. All leading 0's must be specified
if required.
- When using an alphabetic range, Lower range and Upper range must have the same
number of letters. Upper range must be greater than Lower range according
to the following rule: A < B < C < ... < Z. Every alphabetic
character is first converted to uppercase.
-
Hexadecimal ranges are not supported.
After understanding these rules, you can proceed to:
-
Enter the fixed base number.
-
Enter the lower range.
-
Enter the upper range.
-
Click OK to complete the specification.
You have completed this panel when you have selected either an Individual
LU or an LU range using fixed base, and entered an LU
name or the values required for the range.
