Reporting on Tape Files
CA Dynam supplies a standard precompiled report, in addition to batch utilities
for reporting on the management of tape files. They are as follows:
• Cataloged Tape Files Report—TAPES
• Batch utilities, including the following:
−
−
−
−
TDYNCLEN
TDYNUTL
TDYNLIST
TDYNPULL
The TAPES report lists information about data sets on tape. It provides reports
of active tapes, scratch tapes, or all tapes. Data is retrieved from the Catalog
in volser sequence. Several options available to TAPES enhance its basic
capabilities.
The TDYNCLEN batch utility program lists tapes due for cleaning based upon
the number of OPENs and the number of I/O errors recorded for the volume.
TDYNLIST and TDYNPULL generate the following pull lists, which are listings of
the tapes necessary to run a job or series of jobs:
• TDYNLIST—creates the listings by reading free-form parameter
statements.
• TDYNPULL—is JCL-driven and provides a pull list for any job stream
submitted.
