Reporting on Tape Files
TDYNPULL Processing
To determine a file's input or output status, TDYNPULL uses the following
hierarchy of methods:
• Checks the IBM DISP= parameter on the TLBL statement. Depending on
the parameter, the file is assumed to be either input or output.
– If the value is DISP=OLD, the file is assumed to be input.
– If the value is DISP=NEW, the file is assumed to be output.
• Looks for an input or output indication in the comment portion of a TLBL
statement
• Compares the user-defined pull table to the dtf name and, optionally, job
name, phase name, or both. If a match is found, the user-defined input or
output status is used.
• Searches the CA Dynam Catalog, reading all the versions for the data set
name. Matching is done against the CA Dynam Catalog creation job name
and phase name. If a match is found, the file is assumed to be output.
Otherwise, the file is considered to be input.
• A TLBL with a dtfname of REF indicates the first stack TLBL represents a
reference to a controlled version of the data set. Otherwise the first stack
for a particular stack id will cause a scratch tape to be allocated.
Note that after a file is determined to be input, the most current version's
volser is used unless specifically overridden by TLBL options (volseq, volser,
generation).
Example:
TDYNPULL Input Stream
// JOB TDYNPULL JCL DRIVEN PULL LIST
// DLBL WORK1
// EXTENT SYS001, . . .extent information. . .
// EXEC TDYNPULL,SIZE=128K
// JOB UPDATE MASTER
// TLBL INMAST,'MASTER.FILE' INPUT
// TLBL OTMAST,'MASTER.FILE' OUTPUT
// TLBL UPDATE,'UPDATE.FILE'
// EXEC UPDATEM
