Making subcapacity data files available to the SCRT

The SCRT reads files from a data set or UNIX System Services hierarchical file system (HFS). Therefore, you must enter the ZSUBC command with the COPY parameter specified to copy the subcapacity data files (which you identify by using a range of dates) from the z/TPF file system to a data definition. Complete the following steps to define the data definition name (ddname) to the z/TPF system:
  1. Do one of the following:
    1. Enter ZDSMG DEFINE ddname TAPE-name, where ddname is the data set name and name is the 3-character alphanumeric tape name.
    2. Enter ZDSMG DEFINE ddname PATH-/mydir/myfile.scr SAVE, where ddname is the data set name.
  2. Enter ZSUBC COPY BEGIN-bdate END-edate DD-ddname, where bdate is the start date, edate is the end date, and ddname is the data definition name.
In the following example, all subcapacity data files from May 1, 2005 to June 2, 2005 are copied to a tape called NAM. 
ZDSMG DEF MYTAPE TAPE-NAM
ZSUBC COPY BEGIN-05012005 END-06022005 DD-MYTAPE

If the value of the COPY parameter is a Path, you must send (FTP) the resulting file to the UNIX System Services HFS.

See z/TPF Operations for more information about the ZSUBC and ZDSMG DEFINE commands.
