KeyStroke Language (KSL)

The IOA KeyStroke Language (KSL) can be used to perform Control-M/Tape operations in batch mode. KSL enables you (the user) to perform various actions without having to enter repetitive commands manually. Some sample operations that can be performed through a KSL script are:

• Mark volumes in a specified list as scratch.
• Perform immediate vaulting for a specified list of volumes.
• Perform immediate recall for a specified list of volumes.

For more information on Keystroke Language, refer to the KeyStroke LAnguage (KSL) User Guide.

Note: The same functionality (manual update of entries in the Media Database) can be achieved using the CTTMUP utility. For more information, see the CTTMUP utility in the Control-M/Tape chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
