Disk File Maintenance Utilities
A set of utility programs is provided with CA Dynam/D to enable you to do the
following:
• Move entire disk volumes or data sets between tape and disk.
• Modify the retention period of a file.
• Delete a file from the VTOC.
• Display the contents of files in hexadecimal or character format.
• Provide a sorted VTOC listing.
• Produce frequency and space utilization reports.
• Pre-open disk files so that utility programs can take advantage of the
facilities of CA Dynam/D.
• Migrate data sets from one device type to another.
Modifying the VTOC—CAINTDK
The CAINTDK utility program provided with CA Dynam/D helps reformat
existing disk volume VTOCs to improve performance in conjunction with the
CA Dynam/D Indexed VTOC facility. CAINTDK accepts control statements that
are compatible with those used by the IBM VTOC utility, INTDK, and functions
on all supported DASD. When executed, CAINTDK rebuilds an existing volume
VTOC without disturbing the files that already exist on that volume.
Two types of control statements (VTOC and VOL) are needed to run the
CAINTDK program. Each has its own format and set of syntax rules, as
described in the following topics.
