IMPORT-VOLUME Import exported tapes

Privilege                 ADA, DA, administrator without domains

When a reserved but exported tape is returned, this statement deletes the export date in the catalog entry. The tape can once again be accessed in the local data center.

Format

IMPORT-VOLUME                                                            Alias: IMV

VOLUME = *INTERVAL(...) / list-poss(10): <vsn>
	*INTERVAL(...)
		|	FROM = <vsn>
		|	,TO = <vsn>
		|	,FROM-FSEQ = 1 / <integer 1..9999>

Operands

VOLUME =
Tapes that have been returned.

VOLUME = *INTERVAL(...)
All tapes whose archive number are in the specified range have been returned.

FROM = <vsn>
Archive number. All tapes whose archive number is greater than or equal to the specified archive number have been returned.

TO = <vsn>
Archive number. All tapes whose archive number is less than or equal to the specified archive number have been returned.

FROM-FSEQ = 1 / <integer 1..9999>
File sequence number of the FROM operand. Specifies the precise file sequence number at which processing is to begin. This operand is relevant only if the statement is issued via the program interface.

VOLUME = list-poss(10): <vsn>
Archive number.

Note

When exported tapes are returned, it cannot be excluded that they have been rewritten in the meantime or have been assigned protection criteria. For this reason, the initialization flag (INIT=YES) is always set for the IMPORT-VOLUME statement in the catalog entry.

Example

//import-vol vol=xytape
The exported tape XYTAPE has been returned. The export date in the catalog entry is deleted.
