Additional CA EPIC for z/VSE Utilities › Updating VTOC Entries (TSIDVUT)

Updating VTOC Entries (TSIDVUT)

TSIDVUT allows you to view and update existing VTOC entries. It performs the following functions:

Function

Action

DELETE

Deletes the VTOC entry.

PACKSCAN

Displays VTOC entries and allows you to perform any TSIDVUT update function from the operator console.

PERM

Changes the dataset's expiration date to 99366. This retains the dataset permanently and makes the dataset ineligible for deletion with the TSIDVUT ALL function or from the operator console.

RENAME

Changes the name in the VTOC entry.

RENUM

Increments the extent sequence by 1 (one). This is necessary to place uncontrolled datasets under CA EPIC for z/VSE control.

RENUMB

Decrements the extent sequence by 1 (one). This is necessary when taking datasets out of CA EPIC for z/VSE control.

RETAIN

Changes the dataset's expiration date to 99365.

TSIDVUT does no DSN Catalog processing. If it is used to update the entry of a cataloged dataset, the DSN Catalog and the VTOC will not agree and the results are unpredictable. Use Online Manager or TSIDMNT to update datasets in the DSN Catalog.

Important! Use TSIDVUT to update the entries of uncataloged datasets only.
