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. | ||||||
