CLOSE Command
Description CLOSE changes only the DSN Catalog status of a version. CLOSE does
not perform VSE close processing, such as writing tape or disk labels.
BIM-EPIC accesses only active versions of a dataset. Datasets that are in
open status or conditionally cataloged status cannot be accessed for
reading and writing. Closed datasets become eligible for scratch
differently than active datasets. To access or activate an open or
conditionally cataloged dataset, you must use CLOSE.
Depending on the program processing condition that caused the Open or
Conditionally Catalog status to occur, data on the closed version may be
incomplete. If this is the case, the version should be scratched
immediately after closing to prevent accidental use as input.
If an Automated Cartridge Library (ACL) is supported, CLOSE sets the
tape volume to non–scratch status in the ACL inventory.
Syntax The following provides an example of the CLOSE command syntax.
CLOSE 'dataset-name' [ ,SER=volser ] [ ,GEN=nnn ]
Parameters The following provides a description of the parameters you can use with

created version of the dataset.
