<strong>CA</strong>TALOGed or UN<strong>CA</strong>TALOGed from the OS Catalog. This security check is similar to the one doneby your external security system, but will be done even if the external security system is not active fortape data sets. If you want to rely strictly on <strong>CA</strong>-1 to "drive" the external security calls, use <strong>CA</strong>TSEC tocause <strong>CA</strong>-1 to issue security calls similar to those of an external security system. The difference (muchlike the difference with the <strong>CA</strong>-1OCEOV option and standard external security checks) is in theprocessing of foreign volumes and non-existent tape files. If <strong>CA</strong>TSEC is set to Y or YES (default is Nor NO), then an external security call will be done whenever a tape file is being cataloged. Likewise, asecurity call will be made when a tape file is being uncataloged. However, if the <strong>CA</strong>TSEC option is setto B or BYP, then the security call will be bypassed if the volume it is currently cataloged to is notdefined in the TMC or ifthe volume is in scratch status. This way, a value of B or BYP will allow oldcatalog entries to be removed without having to give the person special access to the user catalogs ordefine rules for data sets that no longer exist.- The NLWTOR optionThe NLWTOR option NLWTOR is a replacement for the optional usermod T5XD917. If NLWTOR is setto N or NO (default is Y or YES), it prevents the IECTMS1 WTOR from being issued when a tape iscalled for by specific volser and no labels are present. It is "assumed" that the requested volume will bemounted correctly. Many sites with robotic systems that still use NL or BLP use this optional usermodto prevent this WTOR. If a request is made to read an NL volume 123456(VOL=SER=123456,LABEL=NL), then in a robotic environment it may be assumed that the requestedvolume will always be correctly mounted. A value of Y or YES will indicate that the IECTMS1 WTORwill still be issued as it was previously.- The MIXGDG optionThe MIXGDG option MIXGDG is a replacement for optional usermod TF45060.If MIXGDG is set to Yor YES (default is N or NO), then the catalog indicator will correctly be turned off when a (+1)generation is created on DASD that results in a tape generation being "bumped off". Previously,without this option and without TF45060, if a (+1) was created on DASD and the oldest generation"bumped off" resided on tape, the catalog indicator was not turned off in the TMC.- The UX0AUPD optionThe UX0AUPD option UX0AUPD is a replacement for the optional usermodT5Q4137. With this optionset to Y or YES (default is N or NO), then a new call is made to exit-A (TMSUX2A).This new call ismade just prior to the update of the TMC (while the TMC is enqueued) and allows for changes to theTMC record itself. This has been used by some customers that want to change the expiration datefrom what was specified in the JCL without using retention rules in TMSEXPDT. It has also been usedto store the CPU ID on which the file was created, in the user field (instead of doing the same thingwith an SMF exit). If this option is changed to Y or YES, make sure the version of exit-A (TMSUX2A),already active on the system, can support this new call. The AXOPCODE in the parameter list for thisnew call is x'14'.- The PMASK optionThe new PMASK option allows the six pattern masking characters to be changed. Note: Use of thebackslash character cannot be changed. Instead of using #@!?*- as the six pattern maskingcharacters, you can specify any non-alpha or non-numeric characters you want. The only additionalrestriction is that no character can be used more than once (and of course the back-slash charactercannot be used either). If this option is used, and the characters are changed (which is NOTRECOMMENDED), then you must make sure that all rules in the TMONSMxx member, as well as allRetention and Vaulting rules, are also changed at the same time. If the PMASK option is used, and thepattern masking characters are changed without changing the rules, then the results of TMSEXPDT orthe Vaulting System may not be what is expected.PDC# QI48357
