Dataset abbreviation

With this settings box you set name prefixes for the generated dataset names.
  • Prefix – Enter the prefix here that is to be placed before a generated name.
    Warning: Use short prefixes wherever possible from one to two letters; numbers are possible, but there is the danger of a clash of names during progressive input.
    Note: Example: The prefix 1 leads to a name clash with the name of the first dataset formed of the prefix and the serial number of the dataset, 11, when the 11th dataset is generated.
    Note: For this reason, (as a rule of thumb) the prefix should be always changed when renaming generated dataset names. Then names clashes are impossible.
  • Format – Determines whether and how many zeros of the assigned record number are pre-set.
