Subject: CPFMTXA: Automation of?
Does anyone have an example script they would be willing to share that shows
how to automate CPFMTXA? I have a few hundred DASD volumes to format and I
would REALLY like to just write a script and have it go. I am, of course, stuck
in figuring out how to say 'YES' to the program when it wants it.
Thanks
