There are two ways of setting parameters for the utility.
Parameters can be passed to the Tape Pull List utility using the TAPULPRM member in the Control-M PARM library. This member is referenced by the TAPULIN DD statement in the Tape Pull List procedure, CTMTAPUL, if it is specified in option M3 (Prepare Simulation/Tape Pull List Job) of the Online Utilities.
Alternatively, parameters may be passed to the utility in-line, using the TAPULIN DD statement.
Table 272 CTMTAPUL Subparameters
Subparameter |
Description |
---|---|
REPBYVOL |
Produce a report sorted by volume serial number (volser). All tapes from the tape library are included. |
REPBYTIME |
Produce a report sorted by the expected mount time. |
REPBYJOB |
Produce a report sorted by job name. |
REPBYDSN |
Produce a report sorted by data set name. |
JCLFILE {YES|NO|ONLY} |
Whether a copy of every submitted job is written to the file referenced by the DAJCLOUT DD statement. Valid values are:
|
Note: When dealing with submitted jobs, the utility, for internal processing purposes, inserts the following accounting code into the jobcard of the job: CTM-FORCE-TPLNM When operating under JES3, the following statement is also inserted: //*NET ID=AESUSER |
|
IGNORE DSN dsn |
Data set name (or prefix) that must not appear in the report. If the last character of dsn is *, it is treated as a prefix. |
IGNORE JOB jobname |
Job name (or prefix) that must not appear in the report. If the last character of jobname is *, it is treated as a prefix. |
The Tape Pull List job can be prepared using the (ISPF) Simulation panel (Option M3 in the IOA Online Utilities menu). A special section of the panel is designated for Tape Pull List parameters. If you want to run the Tape Pull List procedure
The default control parameters member name appears on the screen. This member contains IGNORE statements (procedure parameters). JOB/SCAN and PRO/JCL parameters are discussed in JOB/SCAN, PRO/JCL, DOCU/TEXT Interface.
After filling in the parameters, enter the edited JCL of a job to run the simulation and the procedure. You can submit it, or save it for future use.
