Condense Group Definition File

PowerExchange Condense group definitions are defined in a sequential file, called the group definition file
.

For PowerExchange Condense to create separate sets of condense files for the groups you define, you must enter the path and file name of the group definition file in the GROUPDEFS parameter in the CAPTPARM configuration member.

A group definition file contains one or more GROUP statements, each with one or more REG statements.

The following table describes the GROUP and REG statements:

Statement	Positional Parameter	Type (Length)	Description
GROUP	`group_name`	VARCHAR(255)	Identifier for the Condense group.
GROUP	`external_capture_mask`	VARCHAR(21)	Fully-qualified prefix for the name of the data set to contain the condense files for the data group.
REG	`registration_name`	VARCHAR(8)	Full or wild-carded registration name (has to be the prefix). Registration names are case sensitive.

The following rules and guidelines apply:

Each group_name value
must be unique.

Each external_capture_mask
value must be unique.

Each REG statement applies to the single preceding GROUP statement.

If a REG statement without a preceding GROUP statement is found, a syntax error is generated.

You must not specify the same REG statement for more than one GROUP statement.

If a REG statement is not specified for a group, all of the registrations that belong to that group will be considered for condense processing, as if REG=* had been specified.
