Table 149 DO FASTPOS Subparameters

Subparameter

Description

Y (Yes)

Use Control-M/Tape Fast Positioning. However, if the program has its own Fast Positioning mechanism, that mechanism is used and Control-M/Tape does not intervene.

N (No)

Do not use Control-M/Tape Fast Positioning. If the program has its own Fast Positioning mechanism, that mechanism is used and Control-M/Tape does not intervene.

OVERRIDE

Same as YES, but use Control-M/Tape Fast Positioning even if the program has its own Fast Positioning mechanism. However, if Control-M/Tape Fast Positioning is not appropriate (for example, you are appending to the data set) and the program has its own Fast Positioning mechanism, that mechanism is used and Control-M/Tape does not intervene.

TEST

Same as YES, but in addition use Control-M/Tape Fast Positioning when Control-M/Tape is running in Test mode.

Note: Only one DO FASTPOS statement can be specified per rule.
