CA Dynam for VSE User Guide

Tape File Management Utilities
• The number of blank lines between labels (normally 9 for CA Dynam/T
labels)
• A number to increment for nonsequentially numbered labels
This program does not skip to any channels. It therefore needs to know the
number of blank lines to skip between printed numbers.
If executed from job control, TDYNLBL reads free-form parameter statements
between positions 1 and 71. Do not enter any characters beyond position 71.
Continuation statements are not allowed.
