Predecessor / Successor Notes File Data Set Name:                   WS.ES202.PREDSUCC.NOTES Service Center DSN:           YBUssX.A145.PREDSUCC.NOTES, ('ss' = State FIPS code) Type of File:                         VSAM indexed File Layout:                          ES2PSN CICS ID:                               ES2PSN (standard); EssPSN (Service Center; ss=State) The Predecessor/Successor Notes File provides a source of extensive narrative descriptions for predecessor/successor relationships.  With up to 145 characters of free-form note space available, extensive flexibility exists with this file.  Since a predecessor/successor relationship is a two-sided affair, any such narrative will have two records set up, one with the predecessor-to-successor side, the other on the successor-to-predecessor side. ​The PSN data are associated with the actual pred/successor relationships (in the PSA File).  They can be entered in the ES2G screen and will be available for the predecessor / successor records on the EQUI File when it is prepared by the 011D job. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
