Example 13: Manually scanning a system managed DFSMSrmm volume

You can scan volumes as shown in the example in Figure 1. Volume S10017 is defined to DFSMSrmm and is resident in a system managed library. The example shows a manual processing run of EDGINERS with the SCAN command in SYSIN.

Figure 1. Scanning a system managed volume

//LABEL8 JOB .... 
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=EDGINERS 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSIN DD * 
SCAN VOLUME(S10017)
/*

Control statement description:

TAPE DD is not required because EDGINERS dynamically allocates a suitable drive for a system managed volume.
SYSIN DD includes the command request to scan the volume.
