Any of several values can be specified in a DO FASTPOS statement. The value specified determines how Control-M/Tape handles Fast Positioning. Valid values are:
Table 183 DO FASTPOS Values
Value |
Description |
---|---|
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. |
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. |
TEST |
Same as YES, but in addition use Control-M/Tape Fast Positioning when Control-M/Tape is running in Test mode. |
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, then that mechanism is used and Control-M/Tape does not intervene. |
