7.3.1.15.3 The TAPEfff Statement

The TAPEfff statement is used to:

o Activate DETAIL tape data set creation for the file
  indicated by fff.  The component files eligible for DETAIL
  tape processing are listed in a previous section.

o Override, for the indicated file, any JCL-related
  tape specifications made in prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF)
  and prefix.MICS.PARMS(cccOPS) with TAPEPARM or
  DETAILTAPEPARM statements.

The syntax is as follows:

TAPEfff <optional parameters>

where fff is the unique 3-character file identifier

The optional parameters include both keyword parameters and
keyword=value specifications.  You can include multiple
TAPEfff statements if required in order to specify the
desired optional parameters.  If you specify a parameter
multiple times, the last instance defines the value in
effect.

You can specify as many parameters as you want on each
statement, but each TAPEfff statement must end by column 72.
You may also choose to specify only one parameter per TAPEfff
statement.  Either approach is acceptable.

The optional parameters available for the TAPEfff statement
are listed below:

TAPEfff GDG=nnn UNIT=unitname VOLCOUNT=n
TAPEfff EXPDT=expdt / RETPD=nnn / NOEXPDT
TAPEfff COMP/NOCOMP
TAPEfff STACK/NOSTACK AFF/NOAFF
TAPEfff MODEL='modeldsn' / MODEL=NOMODEL
TAPEfff DISK / TAPE  SPACE=spacedef
TAPEfff VOLSER=volser

The following is a sample TAPEfff statement:

TAPEfff GDG=3 VOLCOUNT=7

In this sample, only the number of generation data groups
(GDGs) and VOLCOUNT parameters are explicitly specified for
the file fff.  All other JCL related parameters for the data
set will be set according to specifications made with
TAPEPARM and DETAILTAPEPARM statements according to the
hierarchy described in a previous section.

The optional parameters for the TAPEfff statement are
identical to those supported by the DETAILTAPEPARM statement.
A detailed description of the optional parameters is
presented immediately following the DETAILTAPEPARM statement
description.
