VMTSPLIT Utility Requirements

The requirements for VMTSPLIT utility are as follows:

A valid VMTAPE CONFIG file that contains:
- A CMSTMC record that references the TMC file to be used as input.
- One or more SERIES records that describe the TMC file referenced on the CMSTMC record.
A valid CA VM:Tape CMS format TMC that corresponds to the VMTAPE CONFIG file information referenced earlier.
A standard SORT program that supports E15 and E35 EXIT routines, for example, VM:Sort or CA Sort.
Sufficient unallocated disk space (which may include system T-DISK) required by the SORT program for dynamic allocation.
If the VMTSPLIT WORK dataset is directed to disk, sufficient disk space is required for the VMTSPLIT WORK dataset. The disk space is roughly equivalent to the disk space required for the input TMC plus 10 percent).
If the VMTSPLIT EXPORT dataset is directed to disk, sufficient disk space required for the VMTSPLIT EXPORT dataset. The disk space is roughly equivalent to the disk space required for the input TMC plus 10 percent).
VMTSPLIT output reports are sent to the CA VM:Tape virtual printer.
- For Report 50, there is one line for each volser, plus an additional line for each additional dataset on a volser if applicable. The print file containing the Report 50 is a large file.
- For Report 52, there are ten volsers listed per print line. Therefore, it is much smaller than Report 50.
