Parameter Description

The following provides a description of each parameter:

{ START | STOP | QUERY }

Turns the Autopick facility on or off for the specified pools, or queries whether the Autopick facility is on or off for the specified pools.

[ POOL poolname | NOPOOL ]

Specifies the scratch pools for which to turn on, turn off, or query the status of the Autopick facility. By default, CA VM:Tape applies the command to all scratch pools. You can specify characters with a trailing asterisk for poolname to indicate multiple pools starting with the same characters, or you can specify a single defined scratch pool. Use NOPOOL to specify general scratch tapes (that is, scratch tapes that are not in any defined scratch pool).
