MODESET Command

Use this command to restrict the function of all subsequent commands executed in the job step. Only one such command is permitted and, if present, it must be the first in the input stream.

The MODESET command syntax is:

MODESET SIMULATE,NORECATLG,NOSCRATCH,PASSWORD,DMYCATLG,MIGSMSDS
SIMULATE

This parameter results in messages being displayed as if migration were taking place. However, no data sets are written to tape; no catalog updating or scratching occurs.

NORECATLG

Specification of this parameter deactivates the recataloging of the migrated data sets that would typically be done after their movement to tape.

NOSCRATCH

Specification of this parameter precludes the scratching of the data sets from DASD after they are migrated.

PASSWORD

Specification of this parameter causes processing to include only password-indicated data sets. All nonindicated data sets are bypassed, so the output volume contains the indicated data sets. The same CA Disk password protects each data set on the output volume.

DMYCATLG

Specification of this parameter causes CA Disk to catalog each CA Disk-generated first file. The default is not to catalog these data sets.

MIGSMSDS

Specification of this parameter causes CA Disk to migrate SMS managed data sets provided the requestor has SMS Storage Administrator Authority.

APPEND

Specification of this parameter causes CA Disk to look for previously used volumes and append more data sets thus fully utilizing large capacity volumes.
