Loading and Deleting Output › Load Output to Disk

Load Output to Disk

The online system can temporarily load output from tape to disk for browsing or printing like any disk-archived output. To do this, you create a JCL (with the help of CA View) that runs a background job that temporarily loads the output to disk. Any output that is shown as being on TAPE in your Selection List is valid for being loaded from tape to disk.

Access to this facility is based on permissions. Contact your system administrator if you are unable to access a specific tape through CA View.

1. Determine the location of the output to be loaded by doing the following actions:
   • Locate its ID in the Selection List.
   • Look at its location in the LOC field.

   To load output from tape to disk, CA View must list the output as being physically located on tape.

2. Enter L to select the output you want to load, and then press Enter.

   The JCL created message appears in the upper‑right corner of the panel.

3. To submit the JCL, do one of the following actions:
   • Enter SUB on the command line.
   • When you log off, enter JOB statement information as prompted.

   The job is automatically submitted.
