DMSTVI Exit

This section contains sample EXECs set up using DMSTVI with REXX. The CMS program MOVEFILE is used in the EXECs to read and write data sets and files, but you can use any program that invokes OS simulation macros.

With DMSTVI, you can use the SYSPARM parameter on the CMS FILEDEF command to pass CA VM:Tape options to CA VM:Tape. This section describes the SYSPARM parameter and provides examples of interactive OS simulation that use SYSPARM. Many of the EXEC examples use SYSPARM as well.

Make sure the DMSTVI exit is installed at your site by entering the following command:

filedef  test  tap1  sl  ( sysparm (   )

If you receive the following error message, DMSTVI is not installed:

DMSFLD003E INVALID OPTION: SYSPARM   RC=24

Contact your system administrator about installing DMSTVI. If DMSTVI is not available, you may be able to use the DMSTVS exit.

Note: For more information about the exit, see DMSTVS Exit.
