SARTCP produces a report listing of the SYSOUT groups and master index backups that are on the archival tape. This is a list of the contents of the archival tape:

Input position

The position of the entry on the input tape.

Output position

The position the entry has on the output tape (if created, with the TAPEOUT DD statement).

Recorded position

The position as indicated in the GCR (Group Control Record) for the SYSOUT group or master index backup.

Jobname

The name of the job that originally created the SYSOUT group.

Job ID

The JES identifier of the job that originally created the SYSOUT group.

Generation number

The archival generation of the SYSOUT group.

Sequence number

The sequence number of the SYSOUT group in the generation.

Blocks

The number of data blocks used for the SYSOUT group.

Continuation Indicator

YES indicator

Shows whether the SYSOUT group or master index is continued to another backup tape or continued from a previous backup tape.

ABN indicator

Shows if the task writing the data terminated abnormally. The task writing the data set a flag in the data's EOF record when it terminated abnormally. This flag means that the data might be incomplete and should be re-created if possible.

If the data is a SYSOUT which is still resident on primary or secondary disk, its BACKUP Flag can be set to OFF using the SARBCH /CHANGE function.

If the data is an Index, another backup cycle can be run to create a new Master index backup.

SYSOUT ID

The ID of the SYSOUT group or one of the following special identifiers:

*** INDX ***

Represents a backup of the master index.

*** UNKN ***

The identity of the SYSOUT group cannot be determined because the first record of the group is not a control record.

For all but the first SYSOUT group on the tape, this identification indicates a problem with the group. For the first SYSOUT group on the tape, this identification is normal when the SYSOUT group is a continuation of the group from the previous tape.

*** NULL ***

The entry represents a null SYSOUT group (that is, two consecutive EOD records).

A null entry is created on an archival tape by the NULL control statement.

*** SKIP ***

The SYSOUT group or master index backup represented by the entry is skipped over as requested by a SKIP control statement.
