Using Utility CTDAMUTI on Multi-job Datasets

When activating utility CTDAMUTI on multi-job CDAM datasets (that is, datasets created using parameter ALLOCOPT=JOBSDSNx), use the following rules:

Table 280 Rules Used when Activating utility CTDAMUTI on Multi-Job CDAM Datasets

Rule

Description

COPY

Always add parameter ALLOCOPT=JOBSDSNx to the selection criteria. Also use the special prefix of the multi-job dataset.

When copying more than one CDAM file to a data set the output file cannot be a PDS member.

DELETE

Do not use this function for multi-job datasets.

MOVE

Do not use this function for multi-job datasets.

RECOVER

This function can be used for re-decollating reports from multi-job CDAM files. It provides information for building user and SYSDATA records with the original JOBNAME, JOBID, DDNAME, PGMSTEP and other parameter values. This function is primarily useful for JOBSDSNx files. Therefore, parameter ALLOCOPT=JOBSDSNx should be specified. It is recommended to rename files to be re-decollated by changing their prefix so that the new prefix can be specified in the RECOVER function as a dataset identification parameter.

Because of the above limitations, the same prefix should not be used for regular CDAM datasets and multi-job datasets.
