Command Operands
FILE
The file operand specifies the input files. Full or relative paths can be specified.
If no input files are specified, standard input is used.
z/OS USS
z/OS USS permits the specification of files located in the hierarchical file system (HFS) and z/OS data sets.
HFS files are specified simply as UNIX file names.
z/OS data sets are specified using the IBM USS // convention, which prefixes the data set name with the characters //. The syntax is as follows:
In order for the USS shell to interpret the forward slash ( / ) characters correctly, the complete file name must be enclosed in double ( " ) quotation marks on the USS command line.
The data set name adheres to TSO naming conventions; if it is not enclosed in apostrophes, your USS user name is used as the high-level qualifier. For example, "//my.data" refers to data set USERID.MY.DATA.
