Default
None

Database name
zOSDownload.MDFile

Usage notes:

  • The MVS Download Destination Control File (DCF) is a flat text file that consists of Control Statements, blank lines, and comments. Each line has a maximum length of 1023 bytes. Tabs are treated as blank spaces.
  • This property is only used when the Merge dataset property is set to Yes and an input device connected to Download for z/OS receives multiple line data or mixed-mode jobs.
  • This property is only used by RICOH ProcessDirector for Windows.
  • By default, a sample file is stored in C:\Program Files\Ricoh\ProcessDirector\PSF\bin\mvsdmap_rpd.txt. Look for the GLOBAL entries and add any directories you want searched for AFP resources. For example:
    • GLOBAL :: resource-context=c:\res_temp_prod;c:\res_temp_dev
  • Before you make any other changes to this file, contact your Ricoh support representative.
