The following principal changes have been made since the last edition of the “Utility Routines” manual:
The manual has been adjusted for BS2000 OSD/BC V11.0. From BS2000 OSD/BC V11.0B onwards, the file catalog has been expanded with the NUM-OF-BACKUP-VERS file attribute to support version backup (see “Introduction to DVS” manual [4]).
All references to SQ servers and the global storage, which are no longer supported, have been removed.
The following modifications have been made to the IORM utility routine:
- New statement for the specification of base devices in the IORM utility routine.
- From BS2000 OSD/BC V11.0B onwards:
The “FastDPAV” function, an optimized DPAV, is offered for Server Units SU /390 (from SU710 onwards) that support a modification of the logical unit number (LUN) for alias devices when starting an I/O (see section "FastDPAV").
For the JMP utility routine, the CONVERT-JOBPOOL statement is now obsolete and has been removed.
For the LMSCONV V3.5B utility routine, adaptions to LMS V3.5B have been made, especially in including the last byte pointers (LBP) and the CCSN for SAM files in Net-Storage (NETCCSN) as well as the new MODIFY-ELEMENT-ATTRIBUTES statement.
The SANCHECK utility routine can be used on /390 servers. On SE servers, the SE manager offers convenient functions for the same effect, which can be found under “FC Networks”.
The SIR utility routine also allows the generation of IPL disks with the
LARGE-FILES-ALLOWED=*YESattribute.
From now on, SIR only supports the TSOSCAT type EXTRA-LARGE. The operands for specifying the TSOSCAT type have been removed.
The SIR statements REPAIR and LIST have been removed.
Copying from tape with SIR has been removed.In the VOLIN utility routine, some obsolete functions have been removed:
Volume checking, volume formatting, volume repair.
Statements REPAIR, RETRY, DEFECTS, RECLAIM, OPTION.
