In Generate Workspace, which item is not mandatory?

• A. Reader Format
• B. Reader Dataset
• C. Writer Format
• D. Writer Parameters

Answer: (D)

In a Generate Workspace, the essential setup defines how data is read and written: you specify the reader format and dataset, and the writer format and dataset. These establish the data flow and destination. Writer Parameters, on the other hand, are optional settings that tailor how the writer behaves but aren’t needed to create the basic workflow. You can leave them blank and add or adjust them later as needed, using defaults for a standard write operation. If you later need to customize things like encoding, write mode, or other writer-specific options, you can set those parameters then.
