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
