Previous Topic: TMSBLDVR Utility—Build TMC Volume Ranges TableNext Topic: Job Control Statements


Report Description

TMSBLDVR creates TMS REPORT-80 which displays the volume ranges found in the existing TMC. The report also lists the volume ranges that are built as a result of any add or remove range statements. Statistics are also produced for the number of total and free DSNBs. If you run TMSBLDVR in standalone mode without a PARM=NEW parameter, the report includes the size requirements for the new TMC based on a blocksize of either 340 or 8840. This feature helps ensure that the new TMC is correctly preallocated.

If the required size for the TMC exceeds 4,369 cylinders, allocate the TMC by adding DSNTYPE=LARGE to the DD statement in the allocation step. TMSPTRS does not support DSNTYPE=LARGE, use TMSAPEC instead of TMSPTRS if DSNTYPE=LARGE has been used.

The following messages are issued to the report 80 that comes out of TMSBLDVR:

UNIQUE TMC RNAME ACTIVATED

This message is displayed when UNIQUE_RNAME=YES is used to create a TMC and when extending an existing TMC. If you use the Exclude statement, you get an RC=08 error.

UNIQUE TMC RNAME DEACTIVATED

This message is displayed if UNIQUE_RNAME=NO is used when extending an existing TMC and unique RNAME was previously activated.
