You must prevent the tape from being rewound for all datasets
except the last. This can be accomplished with any of the
following methods:
Option 3 in a TLBL statement
VOL=(,RETAIN) in a DD statement
OPT=NOREW in a DD statement
You may want to specify a rewind or unload option code for the
last dataset. This can be accomplished by any of the following
methods:
Option 1 (rewind) in a TLBL statement
FREE=CLOSE (rewind) in a DD statement
Option “2” (unload) in a TLBL statement or
VOL=(PRIVATE) (unload) in a DD statement
You can prevent the release of the assignment for each dataset
except the last. This can be accomplished with either of the
following methods:
Option 8 in a TLBL statement
FREE=END in a DD statement
You usually want the assignment to be released at close for the
last dataset. This can be accomplished by omitting the option
code (TLBL) or FREE=END (DD).
On output, BIM-EPIC continues to write new datasets at the end
of the current multi-dataset group. When you want to create a
new group, you must start by creating a new version of the prime
dataset.
You can process the datasets in any order on input. Because of
the physical limitations of tape media, it is most efficient to
process the datasets in ascending order by file sequence, but this
is not mandatory.
You must use DD statements to automatically catalog a
subdataset.
!
WARNING:
If the length of the prime dataset name is 17 characters or less,
BIM-EPIC enters the prime dataset name in the Comment field of
the subdataset definition. If the prime dataset name in the
comment field is longer than 17 characters, BIM-EPIC puts
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in the Comment field for the subdataset.
