*ALLOCATE
|
||
|
||
The format of the ALLOCATE command is:
|
||
|
||
.ALLOCATE resource: logical-name: /switches
|
||
Resource represents the name of the resource to be ALLOCATEd
|
||
and must be one of the following:
|
||
|
||
A disk volume set name such as DSKB:
|
||
|
||
A tape volume set definition such as PAY-WK43(PM43A,PM43B):
|
||
|
||
A logical-name previously associated with a resource
|
||
|
||
Note: Physical/generic device names are illegal volume set names
|
||
for the ALLOCATE command.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Logical-name represents the name your program will use to
|
||
reference the resource. If this field is not specified and
|
||
the resource was a tape volume set, a default will
|
||
be generated by abbreviating the volume set name to 6 characters
|
||
or up to the first non-alphanumeric.
|
||
For example, PAY-WK43 would produce a default logical name
|
||
of PAY.
|
||
|
||
|
||
/NOTIFY implies that you wish to receive notification upon completion
|
||
of the request and when tape volumes are switched.
|
||
|
||
/CHECK
|
||
Will print the status of allocation requests for your job.
|
||
|
||
/HELP
|
||
Will print a description of the ALLOCATE command.
|
||
|
||
/TAPE
|
||
Indicates that the resource is a tape volume set.
|
||
|
||
/DISK
|
||
Indicates that the resource is a disk volume set.
|
||
|
||
/EXCLUSIVE
|
||
Ensures that no other users are allowed to share the resource. This
|
||
is the default for tape volume sets.
|
||
|
||
/SHARABLE
|
||
Allows other users to share the resource. This switch is not valid for
|
||
tape requests and is the default for disk requests.
|
||
|
||
/READ-ONLY
|
||
Ensures that the resource is write-locked when it is ALLOCATEd.
|
||
This is the default for tape volume sets.
|
||
|
||
/WRITE-ENABLE
|
||
Ensures that the resource is write-enabled when it is ALLOCATEd. This
|
||
is the default for disk volume sets.
|
||
|
||
/REMARK:"text"
|
||
Allows a remark up to 50 characters in length to be sent to the
|
||
operator with this ALLOCATE request. This switch is required
|
||
for tape ALLOCATE requests if no volume identifiers were specified
|
||
in the request.
|
||
|
||
/ACTIVE
|
||
Ensures that the disk volume set is placed in your job's active
|
||
search list. This is the default for disk ALLOCATE requests.
|
||
|
||
/PASSIVE
|
||
Requests that the disk volume set be places in your job's passive
|
||
search list.
|
||
|
||
/CREATE
|
||
Allows creation of files on a disk volume set.
|
||
This is the default for disk ALLOCATE requests.
|
||
|
||
/NOCREATE
|
||
Prohibits creation of files on a disk volume set unless the structure
|
||
is explicitly requested by name.
|
||
|
||
/TRACKS: 7 ! 9
|
||
Specifies the number of tracks for a tape volume set.
|
||
|
||
/DENSITY: 200-BPI ! 556-BPI ! 800-BPI ! 1600-BPI ! 6250-BPI
|
||
Specifies the density of the tape volume set.
|
||
|
||
/LABEL-TYPE: ANSI ! EBCDIC ! USER-EOT ! NONE ! NOLABELS ! BYPASS ! IBM
|
||
Specifies the type of label required for the tape volume set.
|
||
|
||
ANSI Specifies the tape volume set has ANSI standard labels.
|
||
|
||
IBM Specifies the tape volume set has EBCDIC (HEX) labels.
|
||
EBCDIC Same as IBM.
|
||
|
||
USER-EOT Specifies that the tape volume set is not labeled and
|
||
the user wants to see EOT (end-of-tape).
|
||
Volume switches will not be processed automatically
|
||
by MDA and must be processed by the user program.
|
||
This label type should be used for programs like
|
||
BACKUP that have their own user labels.
|
||
|
||
BLP Same as BYPASS.
|
||
BYPASS Specifies that MDA is not to perform any label processing.
|
||
The user must be privileged to request this label type.
|
||
|
||
NONE Same as NOLABELS.
|
||
NOLABELS Specifies that the tape volume set is not labeled and user
|
||
will never see EOT (end-of-tape). Volume switches will
|
||
be processed automatically by MDA.
|
||
|
||
UNLABELED Same as NOLABELS.
|
||
|
||
/VOLID:(list) Specifies the tape volume identifiers of the volumes in
|
||
the tape volume set. Use this switch only if the
|
||
the identifiers were not previously specified.
|
||
|
||
/SCRATCH Requests the operator to allocate tapes for
|
||
this request from a pool of scratch tapes for
|
||
temporary use.
|
||
|
||
/NEW-VOLUME-SET Requests the operator to allocate tapes for this
|
||
request from a pool of new volumes.
|
||
|
||
/QUOTA Recompute disk usage in the specified structure.
