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

Defining Cabinet Storage

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

ccss

Where

cc

Is a character alphanumeric id for the cabinet

ss

Is the number of slots that it contains 00-99.

For a maximum of 100 slots.

Example

This statement defines cabinet storage at an off-site storage location. The ID of the storage location is OA. The first cabinet is identified as A1, the second cabinet is identified as A2, the third cabinet is identified as A3, and the fourth cabinet is identified as A4. Each cabinet holds 100 tapes.
