Probably not - this is all SYSIN data so would require manual data entry to plug in the volser
The 98000 is a convention used to tell one's tape management system to ignore the volser and not try and manage it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 15:49 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Cataloguing fake tape datasets?

Can I do this with a referback (VOL=REF) to the step that created the tape, all in the same job, and eliminate the Post-It entirely?) If I use FSEQN(999) to make the chicanery transparent will anyone check? EXPDT=98000 presumably disables most of this; I think our auto-ops is trained to ignore it.
