Richard,
You don't mention your tape management system. If you are using
Classification: Confidential
Don't have any references for you, but in my experience, most installations
have under-spec'ed the service class for OMVS (either importance or goals).
Increasing either for this service class would most likely help.

If you have BMC's FDREPORT, you can use it to extract the RMM tape info and
create the DELETE NOSCRATCH commands.

I need some help with debugging a program that runs as a spawned OMVS process.
I have done a SYSOMVS trace where I can see that a syscall to BPX1SOC fails
with reason code 112B and error code is EAFNOSUPPORT.
Looking at the trace I can see that there are 8 parms starting at address
0A6DC23
Without validating the RANGE or DATA parms (although the space after the
address in the DATA parm looks fishy; not sure if that's a problem), I noticed
that you're not specifying a JOBNAME parameter. It would also be good to give
it a descriptive ID parameter.
Also be sure that you're settin
Hi all, I have a simple question, but my searches are eluding me (maybe
I don't know what to ask for).
In my Rexx program, before I try to do an EXECIO against it, I want to
do something to make sure the DD statement is there and control the
error. I tried ListDSI, but that only works on DASD
You can use listdsi - check sysreason for a value of 3
A value of 2 indicates it isn't allocated
Sysmsglvl2 has IKJ58403I THE DATA SET IS A TYPE THAT CAN NOT BE PROCESSED.

This solution requires TSO:
alloc_dd. = ''
call get_alloc_dds
:
if \ dd_exists('ABCXYZ') then ...
:
:
/* Get allocated DDs */
get_alloc_dds_MVS: procedure,
expose alloc_dd.
address TSO
x = outtrap('listalc.')
"LISTALC STATUS"
x = outtrap('OFF')
do i = 2 to listalc

Will that work for tapes?
Most infuriatingly, I learned long ago thatn LISTDSI(ABCXYZ FILE)
returns attributes of the FILE as I had intended, but those fr

You gotta a "tape", give it a try and see what the RC is and what
of the variables it sets, are set.
If I had tape, I'd try it for you, because this is something I
should know given what I'm working on in my spare time.

I have two external REXX execs that I use frequently (depending on which one
you need):
TEMPDD returns a DD name that is guaranteed not to be currently in use; it's up
to the caller to allocate it. I can specify a prefix; for example, if I call
TEMPDD with arg "XYZ" then it might return "XYZ12

just uncatalog them with noscratch, or since they are tape, you can just
uncatalog.
if you can list the DSN under ISPF 3.4, just type a "U" next to the name, and
hit enter.

Hi,
We use HSM to backup datasets to virtual tape on a TS7770.
We are getting close the TS7770's capacity and want to reduce the capacity used
by HSM.
The current strategy is to find backups we no longer want/need, delete the from
HSM, and then use RECYCLE command to merge the tapes that are no
There is usually a delay of a few days to allow undeleted of the tape
volumes. Best to set an retention period so they expire after so many
days / after n versions are created.
