Issue NOTIFY.IC/CHANGE.IC for missing IC record

The Create Image Copy function can issue the NOTIFY.IC command or the CHANGE.IC command to register the output data set to RECON.

The function issues the NOTIFY.IC or CHANGE.IC command for the output image copy data set when one of the following conditions is met:

• If only the primary image copy data set is registered to RECON as an available IC record, the Create Image Copy function issues the NOTIFY.IC or CHANGE.IC command for the first output data set and registers it to RECON as the secondary image copy data set.
• If either the primary image copy data set or the secondary image copy data set is flagged as an error in RECON, the Create Image Copy function issues DELETE.IC and NOTIFY.IC, or CHANGE.IC command for the first output data set and registers it to RECON instead of the erroneous IC record.
• If the type of the input image copy data set does not match the DBRC record, the Create Image Copy function issues the DELETE.IC and NOTIFY.IC commands for both the input image copy data set and the primary output image copy data set. By these commands, the primary output image copy data set is registered to RECON and the type of the image copy data set is changed to the correct type, which is consistent with the input image copy data set and the registered record in RECON. These commands are available only for the batch image copy and the concurrent image copy.

You can request this feature by using the NOTIFY=Y keyword parameter in the ICEIN control statement.
