Willie, I throw this out just as another option but what if you defined a
FILTLIST called TMMTAPE in your dataclas acs member:
FILTLIST TAPE_UNITS INCLUDE('TMMTAPE')
Then you could refer to that esoteric name in any jcl or started task etc.
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=TAPE.BLAH(+1),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=TMMTAPE,
// DCB=(TAPE.MODEL,BLKSIZE=27600,LRECL=400,RECFM=FB),
// LABEL=(1,SL),
// VOLUME=(,,,4)
There are some inherent problems in using this design in that you may lose
control of what you actually want to be put in the TMM pool. Unfortunately,
anyone who knows about the esoteric can use it in their allocations but
perhaps that is not a consideration for you or perhaps you can protect
yourself with RACF or something.
Just a thought.
Regards,
Gil.
