Physical Input Volume Status Report

Report SVTRC190.B is the post Recycle or Recycle results report. The report is broken into two sections as follows:

• The Selected Physical Input Volume Status Report.

  This report documents the physical Backstore Volumes selected for input processing, the number of physical files (Virtual Volumes) that were processed and the number of physical files that were not processed on each volume. The volumes are listed in volume serial number order.

  Physical volumes that have no remaining physical files will be expired by the tape management system or can be expired manually.

• The Tape Consolidation Ratio Physical Output Volume Summary Report.

  This report documents the Group Number that was Recycled, the Actual TCR achieved, the requested TCR, the number of physical volumes selected, processed, release and written. The entries are listed in group order.

Note: Physical volumes with no remaining physical files are written to the SVTR190B DD statement file. This file can be used as input for return-to-scratch processing at those sites without a tape management system.

Note: The REMAINING column of report SVTRC190.B always depicts the number of physical files that are cataloged to the source volume; therefore, if a RECYCLE control statement does not define a target tape type (Primary or Duplex) that includes the source tape type, the number of physical files shown in the REMAINING column will be equal to or greater than the number of processed files. This is because the files residing on the source volume were not recycled (read and recataloged to a different tape), but read to create a tape of a different type. This occurs when the following RECYCLE control statements are used:

RECYCLE SOURCE(PRIMARY) TARGET(DUPLEX)

RECYCLE SOURCE(DUPLEX) TARGET(PRIMARY)

RECYCLE PHYSICAL(VOLSER) SOURCE(REPAIR)

When a RECYCLE control statement defines SOURCE(PRIMARY) with TARGET(PRIMARY|BOTH) or SOURCE(DUPLEX) with TARGET (DUPLEX|BOTH), the REMAINING column of the report will reflect a true RECYCLE of the input tape. If a tape with ten files is selected and six files are processed, four files will be reported as REMAINING. If all ten files were selected and processed, then the REMAINING column will show a file count of zero, indicating that the input volume can be returned to scratch status.
