file-specification

identifies the file in one of the following forms. Refer to Identifying an External File for additional details.

'filename filetype <filemode | SFS-directory | *>': specifies the filename, filetype, and filemode or SFS directory, respectively. This type of file specification is required for concatenated lists of the form ('file-specification-1' 'file-specification-2' ... 'file-specification-n').
fileref: specifies a logical name to be associated with an external file. This name is a one- to eight-character name that is not enclosed in quotes. If your CMS installation supports the access of OS/390 data sets from CMS (shared DASD), a member of an OS/390 partitioned data set can also be read with the fileref specification, assuming that the fileref was previously associated with a specific PDS member using the CMS FILEDEF command.
fileref(member): gives the fileref of an external file, which is a CMS MACLIB.
