Replace the magnetic tape

If you use a tape for SYSIN or SYSOUT data sets, you must change tapes when z/OS® notifies you of end-of-volume (EOV).

To remove a tape before EOV for offline processing:

Procedure

  1. Issue a /STOP LINE PTERM command from the master terminal.
  2. Remove the tape, mount a new one, and to continue processing, enter one of the following commands
    • /START LINE PTERM
    • /RSTART LINE PTERM
