If you aren't using JCL supplied by Precisely, make sure to specify correct control cards and link to the appropriate object modules.
You must include an additional DD name to use the Spatial attribute functions on z/OS. This additional DD name must mach to the DD name specified in the spatial object file open function (C - pipObjectFileOpen, COBOL - SPOFOP) in the following ways:
- If the DD name is one to seven bytes, append the letter A. For example, if the original DD name is //FLOOD, the Spatial attribute DD name must be //FLOODA.
- If the DD name is eights bytes, replace the last letter with the letter A. For example, if the original DD name is //FLOODZON, the Spatial attribute DD name must be //FLOODZOA.
