StorageTek 6 Control Statement Continuation Conventions, Option Control, Scratch Subpool Control

Option Control

The general purpose OPTion control statement and operator command provides you methods to control the following:

•viewing time when using the VIew command

•issuance of a message if an attempt is made to enter duplicate volumes into a library

•display of uppercase and lowercase characters output at the system console.

•maximum number of cartridges that can be ejected for one eject operation.

•volume processing associated with a specific CAP when the CAP is drained or becomes unavailable before an eject operation completes.

Refer to ‘‘OPTION Command and Control Statement’’ in the HSC Operator’s Guide for control statement syntax, parameter information, and example statements.

Reconfiguration CDS Definition

The RECDEF control statement is used during reconfiguration to specify the new primary and secondary CDS definitions. Refer to “Reconfiguration CDS Definition (RECDEF) Control Statement” on page 98 for control statement syntax, parameter information, and example statements.

Scratch Subpool Control

Warning: If scratch pools are defined by this method and the TMS attempts to define scratch pools with scratch pool indices, the TMS requests will return an invalid return code. If VMTAPE is used as the tape management system, the PARMLIB SCRPOol statements must be in the same alphanumeric order by name as VMTAPE has them defined internally.

With this control statement, you can specify new scratch pools. Refer to “Scratch Subpool Control Statement” on page 100 for control statement syntax, parameter information, and example statements.

Control Statement Continuation Conventions

Control statements may be interspersed with comments designated by an asterisk (*) in column one.

For definition data sets (VOLATTRs, UNITATTRs and TAPEREQs) comments must be in the new format (/*...*/). Asterisk (*) comments are not allowed. A /*...*/ comment in the first line is not required for definition data sets.

Refer to “Control Statement Syntax Conventions” on page 439 for more information.
