The trick here is to write a little EXEC that has a list of userids and
matching RDEV(s). Have the exec repeatedly invoke CPFMTXA.
Let's say you have SOME FILE:
1125 CAMERON
1126 ALAN
1127 BRUCE
LITTLE EXEC:
/* */
"PIPE < SOME FILE * | stem fmt."
do i = 1 to fmt.0
parse var fmt.i rdev userid .
"CP ATTACH" rdev "* 6666"
"EXEC CPFMTXA 666" userid "( LABEL"
if rc <> 0 then exit rc
"CP DETACH 6666"
end
But when you format a volume, you also put a label on it, so you could do
it then instead.
