Reporting on Tape Files
Note:
• Submit the more-specific entries (those with phase and job names) before
the more-generic (those without phase or job name).
• Limit your PULLTAB entries to the current 200 maximum.
Utility Reporting Program—TDYNUTL
The TDYNUTL program performs a variety of utility and reporting functions.
Use TDYNUTL to obtain certain standard information about tapes managed by
the CA Dynam/T Tape Management System. For more information about
TDYNUTL reports, see the chapter "CA Dynam Report Examples."
Control statements request the TDYNUTL functions. Depending on where the
program is executed from, the following conditions apply:
• If the program is executed from the console, they are issued from the
SYSLOG device.
• If the program is executed from a job stream, they are read from the
SYSIPT device. You can assign SYSIPT to a card reader, magnetic tape
unit, or DASD. It must consist of 80-byte records.
The chart below lists the TDYNUTL commands and their functions:
