Compatibility with Tape Management Systems

CA Disk uses standard system OPEN/CLOSE routines to create data sets on tape. CA Disk passes all data that is normally passed to the system through JCL dd statements for the output tape data sets to OPEN internally. This includes the tape expiration date. This provides compatibility to any user tape management system that gets information at tape open time. Two commonly used tape management systems that use this technique are CA 1 Tape Management and CA TLMS.CA Disk is completely compatible with the way these systems control tape use.
