The Batch Interface › PARM Parameters › CONTINUE

CONTINUE

Tells CA XCOM Data Transport how to proceed if a processing error is encountered during multi‑transfer processing.

YES

Tells CA XCOM Data Transport to start the next transfer in a multi‑transfer request. If this request is resubmitted, CA XCOM Data Transport resumes from the initial transfer in the multi‑transfer request.

NO

Tells CA XCOM Data Transport not to start any remaining transfers in the multi‑transfer request.

If this request is resubmitted because of a VTAM error, CA XCOM Data Transport resumes with the failed transfer.

If a logic error occurred, CA XCOM Data Transport resumes with the next transfer.

Notes:

• This parameter is used in conjunction with the SYSIN01 parameter NEWXFER.
• CA XCOM Data Transport can only continue a resumed transfer from the point of failure if the XCOMREST and XCOMGLOB DD statements have been correctly defined. Otherwise, it resumes at the beginning of the transfer.

Default: YES

CREATEDELETE

This parameter specifies whether an existing data set is deleted and a new data set allocated at the start of a FILEOPT=CREATE transfer.

NO

If FILEOPT=CREATE and the data set exists, then the transfer fail with a catalog/file error.

YES

If FILEOPT=CREATE and the data set exists, then it is deleted and a new data set is allocated at the start of the transfer.

Default: NO

For the Default Options Table (XCOMDFLT)

Notes:

• Specifying CREATEDELETE=YES causes the attributes of the existing data set to be lost. The new data set is allocated with the attributes specified in the transfer.
• CREATEDELETE applies only if the target data set is a sequential data set or an entire PDS/PDSE. CREATEDELETE is ignored for other types of data sets (such as PDS members, PDSE members, VSAM, and USS files).
• If the data set is specified using the fully qualified GxxxxVxx name, CREATEDELETE does not apply to relative GDGs.
• The site administrator must allow the use of CREATEDELETE=YES through the default table (XCOMDFLT), CONFIG member (XCOMCFG), or destination member (XCOMCNTL).
