OUTCODE Control Statement

Up to nine valid OUTCODE control statements may be included in a single execution of TMSCLNOA. If the OUTAREA DD is supplied, each TMC volume record selected to be checked out of the area is written to the OUTAREA DD. At least one additional keyword must be included with the OUTCODE keyword. The format for the OUTCODE control statement is;

 OUTCODE=aaaa (,1ST=nnnnnn) (,VOLSERS=vvvvvv-vvvvvv) (,LBLTYP=typ) (,DEN=ddd)

Control Statement Definition

aaaa: Designates that if the tapes meet the specified criteria, they are checked out to the out-of-area code aaaa. The OUTCODE must be four characters, and the statement must begin in column one.
1ST: Specifies that once tapes meet any label type (LBLTYP) or density (DEN) requirements, the first nnnnnn scratch tapes are checked out-of-area to the OUTCODE specified. This keyword is optional but is mutually exclusive with the VOLSERS keyword.
VOLSERS: Specifies that all volume serial numbers within this range should be checked out-of-area to the specified OUTCODE, providing they meet the LBLTYP or DEN requirements. This keyword is optional but is mutually exclusive with the 1ST keyword.
LBLTYP: Specifies the label type requirement, where type is SL, NL, NSL, BLP, SUL, LTM, AL1, AL#, AU1 or AU3. If LBLTYP is not coded, any label type is acceptable. This keyword is optional.
DEN: Specifies the density requirement, where dddd is 200, 556, 800, 1600, 6250, 38K, 38KC, or 38X2. If DEN is not coded, any density is acceptable. This keyword is optional.
