The format of the Export List File record is designed to allow for ease of use. It is expected that a customer may manually input the needed information and the format needs to be tolerant of the location of the ®elds in the record. Each list ®le record contains up to two ®elds separated by a delimiter. The ®elds, ªvolserº and ªdestinationº must appear in that order, separated by a ®eld delimiter. If the record is not equal to 80 bytes, the record is not processed and a Status File record is written with a status code of X©24©. The ®rst 13 bytes or less of data from the record as read is provided in the Status File record. If only one ®eld is found in the record, it is assumed that a blank destination is desired.

Table 27. Export List File Record

Name	Description
Volser	The volume serial number of a logical volume to be exported. The VTS will use six
	characters to identify the volser, starting with the ®rst non-blank character and continuing
	until six non-blank characters have been found. Valid characters are A-Z, 0-9. The search for
	six non-blank characters continues until a blank or delimiter comma character is found. Note:
	If the volser found is not six characters, or contains non-valid characters, a Status File
	record is written with a Status Code of X©1E© and with the ®rst 13 bytes of the list record.
Field Delimiter	Comma character required if a non-blank destination is speci®ed.
Destination	The destination for the logical volume. The control unit will use up to sixteen characters,
	starting with the ®rst non-blank character after the ®eld delimiter and continuing through byte
	71, for the destination name. Embedded blanks are allowed in the destination name. Any
	characters in the record after the destination ®eld are ignored. No validity checking is
	performed on the name found. A blank destination is also valid; however, all characters after
	the Volser or delimiter comma and throughout byte 71 must be blank.
User Field	Bytes 72-79 of the 80 byte record are not used or checked by the VTS. This ®eld may
	contain line numbers for volume lists.
