Reporting on Tape Files
SELECT Options
The SELECT options for TAPES are all report-formatting options. Any or all of
them can be used to produce up to three reports from one command. They
are:
ALLTAPES
ACTIVE
SCRATCH
All tape volumes are reported on, whether scratch or active. This is the default
option if the SELECT keyword is omitted.
Only active tapes are reported on.
Only scratch tapes are reported on.
SELECT=ALL prints all three reports.
You can closely approximate the three TDYNUTL reports mentioned above by
invoking TAPES with the command:
REPORT TAPES SELECT ALL

The CA Earl source for the TAPES report is CA Dynam's library member
DYNTA.0.
The report headings are self-explanatory.
For more information, see Standard DYNPRINT Reports in the appendix “CA
Dynam Report Example.”
Tape Cleaning and Error Report—TDYNCLEN
TDYNCLEN is a batch utility program that lists tapes due for cleaning based
upon the number of OPENs and the number of I/O errors recorded for the
volume.
TDYNCLEN accesses the CA Dynam Catalog in read-only mode. It requires
temporary external storage for sorting, using the Filename WORK1 on SYS001.
Output is to SYSLST. Input is from either the SYSIPT device or the operator
console, as free-form parameter statements.
TDYNCLEN Control Statement Syntax
Apply the following rules to TDYNCLEN statements:
• Use only positions 1—72 of any statement.
• Enter a blank or comma after each operand.
• You can enter keywords in any order, starting from any position.
• Tapes will print if they meet either OPENS or ERRORS criteria.
