Specifies a file to be used as input for the replacement transaction. If you use the /INPUT qualifier but you do not supply a file specification, CMS searches your current default directory for a file with the same name as the element specified on the command line. When you specify /INPUT, CMS deletes the input file from the specified location after the new generation is created (unless you specify the /KEEP or /RESERVE qualifier). CMS must be able to match the input element list with the list of elements indicated by the element expression parameter. Thus, if you use wildcards in the /INPUT file specification to generate more than one input file, you must also use wildcards in the element expression parameter.
