PARAM UNLOAD
TAPEMODE with an ASSIGN SYSGEN^TAPE command, SYSGENR produces a SIT
without operator intervention. The syntax is shown below.
STARTSTOP
specifies that the tape drive is to operate in start-stop mode. One record at a time
is written to the tape.
STREAM
specifies that the tape drive is to be operated in stream mode. One block of the
size specified by the BLOCKSIZE option is written to the tape at a time.
If you specify a PARAM TAPEMODE parameter that your tape drive doesn't
support, SYSGENR issues a warning and continues processing, using the default
tape mode for that tape drive.
Example
The following example requests that SYSGENR create a SIT that employs streaming
mode:
> PARAM TAPEMODE STREAM
PARAM UNLOAD
You can use this PARAM to specify that SYSGENR leave the SIT online after
SYSGENR terminates. The syntax is shown below.
YES
specifies that the SIT is to be unloaded after it has been created. This is the
default.
PARAM TAPEMODE { STARTSTOP | STREAM }
PARAM UNLOAD { YES | NO }
