The ArchiveParms allow you to offload the UNIX files into various z/OS GDGs or sequential data sets if you want. The example is to disk, but you could offload to a virtual tape or a tape library. I would highly suggest that if you do this, that you make the data sets SMS managed so that your ACS routines can set the storage class and management class. This will allow SMS to allocate the DSN properly and DFHSM, perhaps, to manage any disk resident data sets. -- This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough hunchbacks.
