DCMT VARY LOADLIB Usage

Offline Load Libraries and Program Usage

When you vary a load library offline, the following program considerations apply:

• You cannot search for programs in an offline load library
• A request to load a program from an offline load library fails
• A new copy request for a program from an offline load library is delayed until the library is varied online

The command can be used, for example, to prevent the system from attempting to load a program from a load library while a library maintenance function, such as a condense operation, is being performed.

Name of the Load Library

A load library is identified in a DCMT VARY LOADLIB command by a ddname/linkname specified for the library in a DC/UCF startup JCL. Issue a DCMT DISPLAY LOADLIB command for a list of valid names.

The following sample DCMT VARY LOADLIB command varies load library V0014 offline:

dcmt v loa v0014 off
