CLASS SPOOL DEFINEs

A CLASS SPOOL DEFINE passes information to the spooler collector process to

assign values to spooler job attributes. Refer to the

Spooler Utilities Reference Manual

and the

Spooler Plus Utilities Reference Manual for detailed information about the

CLASS TAPE DEFINEs

A CLASS TAPE DEFINE passes information to the tape process when using labeled

magnetic tapes. One CLASS TAPE DEFINE must be used for each labeled tape file

that is accessed by your application. CLASS TAPE DEFINEs are processed by the

tape process and by the FILE_OPEN_ and OPEN procedures. Refer to the

Guardian

Disk and Tape Utilities Reference Manual for detailed information about the CLASS

TAPE DEFINEs and their attributes.

CLASS TAPECATALOG DEFINEs

A CLASS TAPECATALOG DEFINE is used to invoke the services of the DSM/TC

product. It is used in place of a CLASS TAPE DEFINE, adding several attributes for

control of cataloging files that are read from and written to tape.

One CLASS TAPECATALOG DEFINE must be used for each labeled tape file that you

want to read or write. CLASS TAPECATALOG DEFINEs are processed by the

FILE_OPEN_ and OPEN procedures. The DSM/TC facility automatically selects tape

volumes and catalogs the files written to tape by applications using CLASS

TAPECATALOG DEFINEs. Refer to the

DSM/Tape Catalog User's Guide for detailed

information about the CLASS TAPECATALOG DEFINEs and their attributes.
