Using the Tape Retention System (TRS) › Location Control Statements › Defining Box Storage

Defining Box Storage

If you are coding a location statement defining box (type B) storage, you must code at least one BOXLIST parameter. You can code as many BOXLIST parameters as you need but a BOXLIST parm can not be continued. Each BOXLIST parm can contain one or more box definitions separated by commas or blanks. A box definition is as follows:

bbbbnn

Where

bbbb

Is a 4 character alphanumeric id for the box

nn

Is the number of tapes that it can hold 00-99.

For a maximum of 100 tapes.

Example

These two statements define box storage. Box ID and capacity can only be defined at the data center. The location ID of the data center is DC. Three boxes are described. Each box can hold ten tapes.
