EXPORTING › Cluster Names: Optional Parameters › RECLEVEL | CILEVEL

RECLEVEL | CILEVEL

The CILEVEL parameter specifies the export of any ESDS clusters. The RECLEVEL parameter specifies the export of ESDS clusters at the record level.

Note: At this level, RECLEVEL|CILEVEL is a local parameter; it applies for a specific group of clusters. Specify RECLEVEL|CILEVEL at the global level to apply for the entire EXPORT. For more information about RECLEVEL|CILEVEL as a global parameter see EXPORT Optional Parameters.

Syntax

These parameters have no operands.

Usage Rules

The following usage rules apply to the RECLEVEL and CILEVEL parameters:

• RECLEVEL is the default unless GVPARMS is used to change the default to CILEVEL.
• CILEVEL is the only acceptable value when exporting linear data sets, regardless of the value you may specify.
• CILEVEL can be used at the EXPORT statement level or at the individual cluster level. You can also specify CILEVEL at the EXPORT statement level and then specify RECLEVEL on individual cluster name statements.
• CILEVEL does not affect the way CA FAVER exports KSDS or RRDS clusters. All integrity checking for these two types of clusters remains the same.
• After restoring files, CA FAVER recognizes whether they were exported at the record level or the CI level and restores them in the same manner. You do not have to tell CA FAVER at RESTORE time how to restore an ESDS file.
• CILEVEL backs up one CI at a time and does none of the RECLEVEL integrity checks.
