Other Tape Management Systems

If the installed tape management system is not one previously listed in this chapter, review the section CA 1 Tape Management System. Use the sample JCL provided for CA 1 to build a scratch synchronization job.

The only specific requirement for the job is that the file of VOLSERs in scratch status must have one VOLSER per record with the VOLSER beginning in column one. Other information can appear on the rest of the line for reference purposes and will be ignored by the scratch synchronization process.

The maximum supported LRECL (logical record length) for the scratch VOLSER file is 255 bytes. Record format can be F or FB.

If your tape management system cannot produce a report listing the VOLSERs in column one, contact CA Support for help.
