StorageTek 6 program-name, DD-name, Tapereq, PROGram or PGMname, DATASET or DSN, dataset.name

TAPEREQ

PROGram or PGMname

optionally, specifies the program name. If PROGram is not specified, the default value is *. The program name used is the job step program name.

program-name

specifies the program name.The TAPEREQ statement is used only when the specified program-name matches the program name in the request.

DATASET or DSN

optionally, specifies the data set name. If DATASET (or DSN) is not specified, the default value is **. The rules of SMS and RACF generics are followed for this parameter.

Note: The name you specify for this parameter may be different from the value coded in the DSN parameter on a DD statement. For example,

DSN=&&ABC

may be coded on a DD statement if a data set is temporary. However, the actual data set name is not &&ABC. Similarly, if the DSN parameter refers back to a previous DD statement, the data set name is resolved to the referred to data set. Thus, the data set referred to must be coded on the DATASET parameter in order for the TAPEREQ control statement to be processed.

dataset.name

specifies the data set name. The TAPEREQ statement is used only when the specified dataset.name matches the data set name in the request.

DDName

optionally, specifies the DDname. If DDName is not specified, the default value is *.

DD-name

specifies the DDname. The TAPEREQ statement is used only when the specified DD-namematches the DDname in the request.

RETPD

optionally, specifies the retention period and the relationship that must exist. If you do not specify either RETPD or EXPDT, the default value is RETPD(GE,0) (any expiration date will match this criterion).

EQ equal to

NE not equal to

GT greater than

GE greater than or equal to

LT less than

LE less than or equal to.
