This statement is only permissible in the case of tape editing. It assigns the output tape and/or tapes. Furthermore the response to errors and the user modules to be connected can be defined for error situations.
ASSIGN-OUTPUT-TAPE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
VOLUME = list-poss: <alphanum-name 1..6>
Specifies the volume serial number(s) of the output tape(s).
LINK-NAME = PCOUT / <filename 1..8 without-gen>
Specifies the internal PERCON link name.
END-POSITION =
Specifies how the tape is to be positioned after processing.
END-POSITION = *BEGIN-OF-TAPE
The tape is rewound to BOT.
END-POSITION = *UNLOAD-TAPE
The tape is rewound and unloaded.
CODE =
Specifies the code in which the tape is written. For code conversion it should be noted that all data (including labels) on the tape is recoded.
CODE = *EBCDIC
The tape must be written in EBCDI code and it is processed without code conversion.
CODE = *ISO7
The tape must be written in IS07 code. The output data is converted to ISO7 code.
CODE = *OWN(...)
The contents of the tape are to be converted with the aid of a user-defined code conversion table contained in the module library assigned via SET-TASKLIB. Its contents are the 256 hexadecimal encryptions (X’00’ to X’FF’) of the characters to which the output characters are to be converted.
Conversion is based on the hexadecimal value of the output character. This value is added to the start address of the conversion table; the character at the resulting position of the conversion table replaces the output character.
NAME = <name 1..8>
Name of the user module or entry point in the user module containing the code conversion table.
DEVICE-TYPE = TAPE-C4 / <device>
Device type of requested output volumes. Only device types known in the system are accepted. In interactive mode, DEVICE-TYPE=? calls up a list of the available device types.
RENAME-VOLUME =
Specifies the new volume serial number(s) of the output tape(s). This operand is relevant only if there are standard labels on the input tape or MF/MV set.
RENAME-VOLUME cannot be used in conjunction with VTS (Virtual Tape Server).
RENAME-VOLUME = *NO
The VSNs of the tapes specified using the VOLUME operand are retained.
RENAME-VOLUME = list-poss: <alphanum-name 1..6>
Restricted to the system administrator (TSOS privilege required).
Defines the new VSN(s) of an MF/MV set.
