repdata-file

Extract file created by the CTTSPL utility. The name of this file is supplied using parameter MRGIN. Mandatory.

The extract file is a predefined sequential file (olpreft.olvert.REPDATA) allocated as one of the Control-M/Tape operations libraries at time of Control-M/Tape installation (at the site containing the source Media database).

TYPERUN

Used to specify both the parameters that affect the general functioning of the utility, and the execution mode of the utility. Mandatory.

Only one TYPERUN statement can be specified for each run of this utility. Specify this parameter using DD statement DAIN.

Specify the MODE mandatory subparameter (for the operation mode) using one of the following valid values:

• NORMAL — Normal operation mode. Records in the extract file are merged into the Media database. Default.
• SIMULATION — Simulation mode. No changes are made to the Media database. Messages describing simulated operations are sent to the Utility log.
• RSIMULATE — Restart simulation. If a first run of the CTTMER utility abended, the utility can be rerun in this mode prior to rerunning it in NORMAL mode and thus causing an automatic restart. Only the deletion of records already merged into the Media database is simulated.

Note: Only the deletion of data records, V-keys, D-keys and T-keys is simulated. Deletion of L-keys is not simulated.
