PRIME | NOPRIME

The PRIME parameter primes objects that were exported in a nonprimed state. The NOPRIME parameter prevents objects that have already been primed from being primed again.

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

Syntax

This parameter has no operands.

PRIME|NOPRIME

►►─┬─────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄
   ├─ PRIME ─────┤
   └─ NOPRIME ◄ ─┘

Example

The following example shows how the PRIME and NOPRIME parameters can be used in the same job to prime some clusters and not to prime others:

RESTORE
CLUSTER
CL=PRIME.THESE.CLUSTERS PRIME
CL=LEAVE.THESE.CLUSTERS.ALONE NOPRIME

NOPRIME is the default unless the GVPARMS utility is used to change it to PRIME.

Note: There is no 'priming' involved with VSAM ESDS data sets. These are flat files as in sam only controlled by VSAM. KSDS on the other hand has an index set that has to be initialized (primed) before it can be opened for other than output. RRDS is the same as KSDS.
