RELEASE Command
RELEASE Command
The RELEASE command is used to return an object for reuse. For example, you can
back up a log file to magnetic tape and use the RELEASE command to inform the
logging process that the file can be reused to log new data.
This command is sensitive.
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file. The variable file-spec is defined on page 5-9.
object-spec
designates the object to be returned for reuse. The variable object-spec is
defined on page 5-2. If object-spec is omitted, the assumed object is released
for reuse. (See ASSUME Command on page 5-36.)
SUB [ subobjtype ]
selects the subordinate objects the command affects. The variable subobjtype
can be a subordinate object type or one of the keywords ONLY, ALL, or NONE, as
explained under SCF Subdevices on page 3-5.
SEL [ NOT ] state
directs the command only at objects in the specified state or only at those not in
the specified state. Valid states are listed in Table 3-1 on page 3-7. The use of
this option is subsystem-specific.
Example
This command releases the file named $VOL.SUBVOL.RFILE for reuse:
-> RELEASE FILE $VOL.SUBVOL.RFILE
RELEASE [ /OUT file-spec / ] [ object-spec ]
[ , SUB [ subobjtype ] ] [ , SEL [ NOT ] state ]
