Using the Tape Retention System (TRS) › Location Control Statements › Adding a Location

Adding a Location

To add a location to the Retention Master File, code this control statement:

ADDLOC ID(id)  DESC(d………………..d)

Where,

id

Is two alphanumeric chars which are a short identifier

d…d

Is a 1 to 40 character description of the location

This is the only statement required to define a location with undefined (type U) storage. If storage for the location is specified as cabinet (type C) or box (type B), you must code as many additional statements as required to identify those cabinets and/or boxes.

Example

This statement defines storage at the data center that is neither cabinet storage nor box storage. Only the first statement is required to describe undefined storage.

ADDLOC ID(DC)  DESC(UNDEFINED STORAGE AT DATA CENTER)

Note: If you intend to utilize the alternate data center ID in a RMF rule, you must also add the alternate data center ID.

ADDLOC ID(D1) DESC(UNDEFINED STORAGE AT ALTERNATE DATA CNETER)
