The // ASSGN statements are removed to enable AVR. Also, the Forced
Labeled Tape facility is used to change the file on SYS008 from unlabeled to
standard label so that it can be controlled. Finally, the data set names are
standardized to begin with PR, thus identifying these as PAYROLL data sets.
Implementing CA Dynam/T
You can implement CA Dynam/T all at once or gradually, depending upon the
needs of your installation. However, one specific person should be responsible
for coordinating the implementation. Convert a few frequently run jobs to
allow the operations staff to become accustomed to CA Dynam; usually one to
two weeks is sufficient. After the operators are familiar with the system, it can
be implemented as quickly as the data sets can be cataloged. If a different
automated file management system was previously used, operators will be
familiar with the concepts involved and will only need to learn the new
message formats.
The following are the implementation requirements:
• All tapes must be assigned unique volume serial numbers. They should be
standard label tapes. After the system is activated, convert any unlabeled
tapes in use (created by other than 1400 programs) to standard label
tapes by including TLBL statements for these files in the JCL. The next
time the file is created it will be a standard label file.
• All file names in the TLBL statements must uniquely identify a data file.
The same file name cannot refer to two different data sets. Review all JCL
to make sure these requirements are met.
• Appropriate data set names for each tape file must be entered in the
Catalog using the DEFINE command of the DYNCAT program.
