DO STKGROUP

DO STKMXLBL

DO STKSRCHL

Indicates a maximum number of volumes that can be considered for stacking the data set.

DO VAULT

Identifies name, location and retention specifications of a vault for volume storage.

It is possible to create a rule without specifying any Action parameters. One use for a rule without DO actions is to change the Control-M/Tape operation mode without performing other actions.

Action parameters are divided into the following categories:
