Steve,
 
Yes ... you *must* have this number!  The DGTVCNTL DATA file that is used by RMSMASTR is the one located in VMSYS:DFSMS.CONTROL ...
 
This is how you can find "the number" ...
 
Issue a CP LOCATE for the RDEV of one of the tape drives that is controlled by the 3494.  For example I have a tiny ATL with two tape drives, 0E00 and 0E01:
 
locate 0e00
RDEV
0FE0E7C8
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 17:46:10
Now ... display that host storage address for a hex length of 120:
 
d h0FE0E7C8.120
H0FE0E7C8  08810800 00002000 00000000 0080C03F 06
H0FE0E7D8  80000000 00000000 00000000 60000000
H0FE0E7E8  E5E6F4F8 F5F40000 00000000 00000000
H0FE0E7F8  00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
H0FE0E808 to 0FE0E847 suppressed line(s) same as above ....
H0FE0E848  00000000 00000000 0000CE7F 00000000
H0FE0E858  00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
H0FE0E868  00000000 00010001 0E000000 0FD955C0
H0FE0E878  349054C0 34905400 000B5708 00000000
H0FE0E888  00000000 00000000 00000000 00000084
H0FE0E898  00000012 000061FA 00000000 00000014
H0FE0E8A8  00006730 0000006B 00000000 00000000
H0FE0E8B8  00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
H0FE0E8C8  00000000 00000000 801C0B38 0FB99028
H0FE0E8D8  00000000 20C00000 0FDCEE48 04000000
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 17:47:13
At hex offset +118 into that storage (I've highlighted it in RED above) is the storage *address* of RDC (Real Device Characteristics) for the device ... within the RDC is the number you are looking for.  Display this host storage address for a hex length of 30:
 
d h0FDCEE48.30
H0FDCEE48  34905434 90540000 1FF88080 00000000 06
H0FDCEE58  00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
H0FDCEE68  01056801 00000000 42810000 00000000
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 17:52:21
The number you need is at offset +hex 21 for 5 hex bytes ... I've highlighted it in RED above ... in the example above the number entered on the RM_AUTO_LIBRARY config record is 10568!
 
If you have additional problems ... give a shout!

Subject: DFSMS/VM config question,


Hello.  I'm trying to figure out how to code a parameter with regards to DFSMS.
The parameter name is:   RM_AUTO_LIBRARY
It is located in:   DGTVCNTL.DATA   file.   This file is located on the 1B5 mdisk of DFSMS
or in can be in  SFS pool     VMSYS:DFSMS.CONTROL.
Specfically, the seqnum.  The IBM CE did not provide this value nor do I (respectfully) think he would know what it is.
Is located somewhere on the Tape Library Manager  pc?
Thanks,
Steve G.
