Initializing Tapes for BIM-EPIC Control
Description TSIDINIT initializes tapes with BIM-EPIC VOL1 labels and enters the
labels in the DSN Catalog under the dataset name
***.VOLUME.DSN.***. The tapes can then be used as controlled
scratch tapes.
Up to 10 tape drives can be used in the initialization process.
TSIDINIT can be executed from JCL or from the operator console. If
TSIDINIT is executed from the console, the operator is prompted for all
processing information.
To execute from the console, after any VSE ‘// PAUSE’ statement, type
the following command:
EXEC TSIDINIT
JCL
Requirements
The following is an example of the JCL requirements for initializing tapes
for BMI-EPIC control.
// UPSI xxxx
// EXEC TSIDINIT [,PARM='CONSOLE']
or
// EXEC TSIDINIT [,PARM='ACL=aclname[,COUNT=nnnnn]']
cuu statement
volser statements
/*
UPSI Values The following UPSI values can be used to initialize tapes for BIM-EPIC
control.
Types of
Initialization
When you want to initialize more than one tape, you can specify the tape
volume serial number for each tape in individual control statements, in
any order. This format is referred to as random initialization. Or, if you
specify the starting volume serial number, TSIDINIT will initialize
successive tapes in ascending volume serial number sequence. This
format is referred to as sequential initialization.
Value Function
1xxx Specifies sequential initialization
0xxx Specifies random initialization
x1xx Specifies forced initialization
xxx1 Specifies scratch tape reinitialization
xx1x Specifies inclusion of the cuu statement
x0101 Specifies use of an ACL for initialization
