The
locationSpec property of the
fileLink element
of the linkage options part specifies how the CICS® system identifier of a remote file is defined.
The following values can be specified:
- CICS
- Specifies that the location for a remote file is defined in the CICS file control table (FCT) or
destination control table (DCT).
- PROGRAMCONTROLLED
- Specifies that the location for the remote file is obtained from
the sysVar.remoteSystemID system variable
when an I/O operation is performed on the file. The location is passed
to CICS by way of the SYSID
keyword on the EXEC CICS command.
You can find more information on system variables
by referring to the
EGL Language Reference.
