SCRATCH Command

The SCRATCH command scratches an expired DASD data set. The SCRATCHP command scratches a data set even if it is date protected. This function is also offered on the UT Menu panel as function 4.

This command has the following format:

►►─┬─ SCRATCH ──┬─ ,DSN=dsname ─┬───────────────┬─────────────────────────────►◄
   └─ SCRATCHP ─┘               └─ ,VOL=volume ─┘
DSN

Indicates the fully qualified name of the data set. A relative generation request can be made for a cataloged generation data set. This command does not scratch PDS members.

(Optional) Indicates the volume on which the data set resides. The volume must be available to CA Workload Automation SE. If the catalog is used, the data set is uncataloged if the scratch is successful.
