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 is a sensitive command.
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
The following 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 ]
