I can think of 2 ways off the top of my head.

1: Use the TeraSAM SEGDEF utility for your test data sets. This uses Catalog control, marks the excpexit field of the data set & uses that to identify candidate data sets to TeraSAM. This would mean you would need to have TeraSAM enabled with CONTROL=BOTH - meaning use segment tables and catalog control.

2: You can also use a Test Segment Definition table.

Your test jobs would need the //SEG@nnnn DD statement as described in the manual above.

Does that help?

David,

I do think this would help. Can I turn Catalog=BOTH on when I next enable TERASAM? I will start my research now.
James.

These methods also work for TSM 3.2.3.

Yes, a subsequent enable with control=both would work.

I attached 2 files as examples.

Both TS$SDF and SEGDEF as described by Dave Yates will work. But if the current implementation is with SEGTAB, use the test segtab as in the example SEG@xxx attached by Dave. Don't forget to include //SEG@xxx DD DUMMY to the job step. This will make TeraSam search for segtab SEG@xxx.

Here's an example TeraSAM table (attached).
