Discarding preallocated SDEP control intervals
When the SDEP scan and delete utilities are invoked, they write out all preallocated control intervals (CIs). These CIs contain no user data. When the CIs are written to disk, the SDEP utilities can either maintain the preallocated CIs for subsequent SDEP inserts or discard them.
If you want the SDEP utilities to discard the preallocated CIs, use the SDEPQCI keyword of the DFSVSMxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set. By using SDEPQCI, you do not have to include the QUITCI utility control statement in each SYSIN member. SDEPQCI makes QUITCI the default for the SDEP utilities.
- SDEPQCI=
- Specifies that QUITCI is the default option for the SDEP scan and delete utilities. If you do
not specify SDEPQCI, the SYSIN of the utility JCL determines how the preallocatted CIs are treated.
- utilityoption
- One-charater alphabetic field that identifies which SDEP utilities use the QUITCI function.
There is no default.
- S
- The SDEP scan utility uses the QUITCI function.
- D
- The SDEP delete utility uses the QUITCI function.
- B
- Both the scan and delete SDEP utilities use the QUITCI function.
