Extend volume serial number set (tape set)
Component: | BS2000 |
Functional area: | File processing |
Domain: | FILE |
Privileges: | STD-PROCESSING |
Routing code: | $ (with NBCONOPI=N) or E (with NBCONOPI=Y) |
Function
The EXTEND-TAPE-SET command allows a set of VSNs, which can be used for the creation of tape files, to be extended by the user. The use of this command implies that all the files which are linked to the same TAPE-SET-NAME use the same tape set. The set of VSNs is recorded in the tape set table (TST). Within the TST, the TAPE-SET-NAME has the same function as the file link name within the TFT.
A TST entry can hold no more than 5455 VSNs.

Operands
TAPE-SET-NAME = <alphanum-name 1..4>
The name of the tape set.
VOLUME = *ANY(...) / list-poss(255): <alphanum-name 1..6>
The VSNs of the additional tapes which are to be allocated to the existing tape set.
VOLUME = *ANY(...)
Allows the operator, or MAREN if available, to mount any tape on the specified device type (no particular VSN is required).
NUMBER-OF-DEVICES = 1 / <integer 1..9>
Number of tapes required.
DEVICE-TYPE = *TAPE / <structured-name 1..8>
The device type to which the tapes are assigned.
The value to be specified is the “volume type” of the tapes, from which the Device Management System determines the device type which is to be made available for the tape processing.
Only device types or volume types known in the system are accepted. In interactive mode, DEVICE-TYPE=? calls up a list of the available device and volume types.
The default value is TAPE, i.e. for tape processing the devices to be used should support a recording density of 6250 bpi (bytes per inch). Other permissible specifications can be found in section "Device types for DMS tape processing".
