TLBL Options
TLBL option codes provide special BIM-EPIC processing that is unavailable with standard
VSE TLBL parameters. See “TLBL Statements” above for instructions and restrictions on
specifying parameters.
Alphabetic option codes (called alpha options) are provided for compatibility with other tape
management products. Alpha options can only be specified within the TLBL dataset name
field.
Numeric codes can only be specified in the TLBL numeric-options parameter. To
specify multiple numeric codes, total the different codes together. For example, if you want to
specify option 3 (Do not rewind) and option 64 (Inhibit LUB allocation), specify 67 in the
numeric-options parameter.
Numeric options can be used for uncontrolled datasets.
Alpha Numeric Action
0 No options in effect
W 1 Rewind at close
U 2 Rewind and unload at close
3 Do not rewind
R 4 Scratch at close
H 8 Hold the drive assignment at close
D 16 Data set drop
32 Conditional catalog
48 Concatenating datasets
64 Inhibit LUB allocation
When no options are coded, BIM-EPIC honors the rewind code in your program.
Rewind options in the TLBL override rewind specifications in your program.
Rewinds the tape to load point at close. This eliminates operator intervention when the same
tape is reused in another step or job. If a cartridge is being used on an ACL drive, BIM-EPIC
unloads it at close unless the “Hold assignment at close” option (8 or H) is specified.
