Catalog Tape DEFINEs
Catalog Tape DEFINEs
Use the Catalog Tape DEFINEs screen to add new tape DEFINEs to the attachments
catalog. You can also use the screen to inquire about, update, and delete tape
DEFINEs already in the catalog.
Tape DEFINEs pass information to the tape process during labeled-tape operations.
The attributes of a tape DEFINE specify parameters such as the name of the tape
device and the record format.
DEFINEs in the NetBatch-Plus catalog can be shared by any number of jobs. By using
these DEFINEs, you can easily and quickly attach identical DEFINEs to multiple jobs.
Instead of creating the DEFINEs for each job, you need only create a single DEFINE in
the catalog. You can then attach that DEFINE to as many jobs as you want. Catalog
DEFINEs also simplify DEFINE maintenance. By updating the attributes of a catalog
DEFINE, you automatically update those attributes for all jobs to which they apply.
You can attach catalog tape DEFINEs to jobs by using the Job Tape DEFINEs screen.
You can also use that screen to override attributes of a catalog tape DEFINE.
Displaying the Screen
From any catalog attachment screen, enter T or TAPE in the Option field and press
F13 to display the Catalog Tape DEFINEs screen.
