DYNCAT Commands
FILE=nn
GDSid=nnnnn
Optional parameter. Specifies the file sequence from the beginning of the
current tape. FILE=nn must be specified for unchained, multifile datasets. If
FILE=nn is specified for a predefined multifile dataset, the file sequence
number must be from the beginning of the multifile set, not from the
beginning of the current tape. FILE=nn is not required when ADDing
predefined multifile dataset versions.
Optional parameter. Specifies the generation data set ID to be added. Valid
entry is:
a 1- to 5-digit numeric generation ID, 1-65535.
If the file is a GDS dataset, you must specify GDSID if adding a new DISK
version.
JOBname=
Optional parameter. Specifies the name of the job that created this tape. Valid
entry is:
a 1- to 8-character job name enclosed in apostrophes.
PED=
Optional parameter. Specifies the period-ending or as-of-date for this version
of the dataset. Valid entry is:
date - Acceptable date forms are mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy
If the variable as-of-date facility is to be used, code two asterisks for any or all
of the date fields. DYNCAT will replace the asterisks with the corresponding
fields from the date in the partition COMREG.
For example: If PED=**/31/** was coded on the ADD statement, the date
placed in the Catalog would be 05/31/07 if this job was run during May of
2007. If the job was run during June of 2006, the date placed in the Catalog
would be 06/31/06.
Note that the dates placed in this field are not validated.
PERM=
Optional parameter. Indicates whether this version of the dataset is to remain
in the vault specified by the VLTloc parameter.
YES
NO
This version is to be permanently retained in the vault
specified by VLTloc.
This version is to be rotated to the vaults specified when
the dataset was defined in the Catalog.
VERsion=
Optional parameter. Specifies the version to be added. Valid entry is:
a 1- to 3-digit number in range 1-999.
