A variety of inventory, audit, specific inquiry, and customized reports can be created with CA 1 batch utilities and CA Earl. Typically, several of these programs are included in the normal CA 1 daily batch maintenance cycle.
For example, inventories of all active volumes by data set name and volume serial number, an audit report listing all CA 1 NOT SCRATCH dismounts, and perhaps an inventory of all tapes marked out-of-area, can be created with the normal scratch list and vault management reports.
If you would like to generate these reports to a DASD file, ensure that the TMSRPT DD (used for some CA 1 output) uses a disposition of MOD; some CA 1 utilities open and close the report file several times during the creation of the output.
