Hello,
You can do what you need with IEHPROGM.
| Quote: |
IEHPROGM can be used to catalog a non-VSAM sequential, ISAM, partitioned, or BDAM data set in a CVOL or an integrated catalog facility catalog. The program catalogs a data set by generating an entry, containing the data set name and associated volume information, in the index of the CVOL
|
If your storage management people are not familiar with this, you can use IEFBR14 with a DD statement like
| Code: |
| //MYTAPE DD DSN=dsn,UNIT=(CART,,DEFER),DISP=(OLD,CATLG),VOL=SER=xxxxxx |
If you have several tapes to be cataloged, you can do it in one BR14 step but make sure that all but the first DD statement specifies UNIT=AFF=MYTAPE. While you will allocate the one tape drive, no mounts will be issued for any of the tapes. The DEFER tells the system not to call for a mount until the dataset is opened and with IEFBR14 it will not be opened. |
