UNITNAME parameter

This parameter allows you to associate a site-defined esoteric unit name with the basic device type (tape or DASD). This informs Control-M/Restart of the type of processing to perform on data sets allocated to that unit.

This parameter may not be necessary. Control-M/Restart usually recognizes esoteric names defined during system I/O initialization. If, however, your site uses products that allow dynamic definition of esoteric unit names, it may be necessary to add these definitions so that Control-M/Restart can recognize the unit names.

The format of the UNITNAME parameter is

UNITNAME unit DEVICE TAPE for tape devices

UNITNAME unit DEVICE DASD for DASD devices

where unit is the site-defined esoteric unit name

Any number of UNITNAME statements can be specified.

Examples

The site has defined unit name ACL for tape devices with automatic cartridge loaders. Specify

UNITNAME ACL DEVICE TAPE

There is a group of DASD devices defined as DISK01, DISK02 and DISK03. Specify

UNITNAME DISK0* DEVICE DASD
