File Maintenance › Create an Inventory Load File from Library Directories

Create an Inventory Load File from Library Directories

Provides a way to populate the CA‑PanAPT Inventory file from the directories of libraries managed by CA‑PanAPT.

You can create an Inventory load file from a PDS, CA‑Panvalet, or CA‑Librarian directory. A sequential file is created that is input to job APJJ6920 for the actual file load. The record layout for this file is provided as member APCCDIB2 in the CA‑PanAPT SRCELIB data set. See Appendix C for a listing of this member.

You must specify a valid Library Code/Subcode and the type of directory in use (PDS, CA‑Panvalet, or CA‑Librarian). In addition, specify a member name range on instream control statements.

For PDS directories, only the member name is supplied from the directory. All other inventory information is supplied from the defaults on the Library Code file.

For CA‑Panvalet directories, the member name, description, and language are supplied from the directory. The comment data from the CA‑Panvalet directory is copied to the inventory record description field. All other inventory information is supplied from the defaults on the Library Code file. (If description or language is blank on the directory, the defaults on the Library Code file are used.) Additionally, the member name range can be further restricted by specifying selection parameters on the ++PRINT 2‑UP,COMMENT statement (,TYPE=BAL). See your CA‑Panvalet System Management Guide for more details.

For CA‑Librarian directories, the member name, description, and language are supplied from the directory. All other inventory information is supplied from the defaults on the Library Code file. (If description or language is blank on the directory, the defaults on the Library Code file are used.)

Activity

For CA‑Panvalet and CA‑Librarian directories, produce a temporary sequential file with directory information.

Use the directory file or a PDS index to produce a sequential file that is loaded to the Inventory (DIBS) file by job APJJ6920. APJJ6920 gets default values from the CA‑PanAPT Library Code file before loading the Inventory Records to the DIBS file.

Output

A sequential Inventory Load file.
