The following parameters can be specified to the utility in the EXEC statement that invokes the IOADCPY JCL procedure:

Table 52 IOADCPY Parameters

Parameter	Description
SUFFIX	Suffix of the data set name of the uncorrupted file. E000—If the dual mirror image copy is corrupted, specify the suffix of the main copy of the IOA Access Method file. D000—If the main copy is corrupted, specify the suffix of the dual mirror image copy of the IOA Access Method file.
UNIT	Name of the DASD unit to be used when allocating new extents for the damaged or missing file.
VOL	List of one to six DASD volume serial numbers, enclosed in parenthesis and separated by commas, on which the new extents of the damaged or missing file can be allocated. All volumes must be defined to MVS as being associated with the unit name specified in parameter UNIT above. If VOL is not specified, the extents are allocated using only parameter UNIT.

Parameter

Description

SUFFIX

Suffix of the data set name of the uncorrupted file.

E000—If the dual mirror image copy is corrupted, specify the suffix of the main copy of the IOA Access Method file.
D000—If the main copy is corrupted, specify the suffix of the dual mirror image copy of the IOA Access Method file.

UNIT

Name of the DASD unit to be used when allocating new extents for the damaged or missing file.

VOL

List of one to six DASD volume serial numbers, enclosed in parenthesis and separated by commas, on which the new extents of the damaged or missing file can be allocated.

All volumes must be defined to MVS as being associated with the unit name specified in parameter UNIT above.

If VOL is not specified, the extents are allocated using only parameter UNIT.

The above parameters are optional and are used only when it is necessary to override the UNIT and VOL (or UNITD and VOLD) parameters specified in the IOA Access Method file definition member when the IOA Access Method file was first created (member DEFxxx in the IOA INSTWORK library). After running the utility with these parameters, run the IOADBF utility with FUNC set to CHANGE to update the new values for these parameters in the IOA Access Method file control block.
