CA Dynam for VSE User Guide

DYNCAT Commands
DISK
FI
Restricts the dataset to disk use only, under the control
of CA Dynam/D. It is not eligible for dynamic device
switching.
Allows the dataset to be used either for tape or disk, and
is eligible for dynamic device switching. A dataset with
this specification may have both tape and disk
characteristics.
Note that TAPE, DISK, and FI are mutually exclusive parameters. DYNCAT
ALTER may be used to switch among them for a file, if desired. If you don't
specify an operand for TAPE, DISK, or FI, DYNCAT defaults to the parameter
specified in the DYNAM/COMMON system option record set at installation.
For information about operator device switching, see the chapter "Controlling
File Independence."
TAPEopt=
Optional parameter. Specifies the default processing options performed during
OPEN and CLOSE by CA Dynam/T. Enclose options in parentheses, separated
with commas or blanks. Valid options are:
AUTOSCR
DROP
HOLD
MODIFY
Causes CA Dynam/T to analyze this dataset for versions
eligible to be scratched at every CLOSE for output. Valid
only for single file tape datasets, the processing of this
option is also dependent upon the setting of the
AUTOSCR parameter in the DYNAM/T option record. If
specified, the CADT064I message will be issued whenever
a version is scratched due to AUTOSCR.
Forces the CA Dynam/T 'DROP' option (to erase TLBL at
file CLOSE).
Forces the CA Dynam/T 'HOLD' option (to hold
assignment) at CLOSE.
Forces the CA Dynam/T 'MODIFY' option (to alter DTF file
name) at OPEN.
Note: These CA Dynam/T options for OPEN and CLOSE are usually specified
on the TLBL, not in the Catalog as dataset attributes. For more information
about the effect of these options, see the chapter "Maintaining Tape Files."
NOLABEL
RELEASE
Causes CA Dynam/T to process tapes within this dataset
as UNLABELED.
Scratches a WORK dataset at CLOSE. This parameter is
only valid for datasets specified as WORK=YES.
