APPENDIX1.2.1.1.5 Creating a Data Set

When creating a data set, you must first request input mode. You can do this by entering one of the following:

The NEW operand on the EDIT command
The IMODE operand on the EDIT command
The INPUT subcommand while in edit mode
The INSERT subcommand with no operands, while in edit mode
A null line, if the system is in edit mode

After you enter the EDIT command with either the NEW or IMODE operands, the system displays the following message:

    __________________________________________________________________________________  
   |                                                                                  | 
   | INPUT                                                                            | 
   |                                                                                  |

For example:

Operation: Add data to an existing data set using the IMODE operand.

Known: To add data, you want to go into input mode immediately.

Enter:

     EDIT cmdproc.clist IMODE
