SHARE Statements for Tape Drives

EREP combines all records for the tape drives in the strings when you use:
SHARE=(011111.0460–0467,022222.0560–0567)
This SHARE statement causes all records from drive 7 (device address/numbers 0467 and 0567) to be combined and presented as data for 0467 on CPU 011111.
Without the SHARE statements the records are presented by the primary channel address for each processor as follows:
  • Records for drive 5 on CPU 011111 are presented as 0465, regardless of whether they have been recorded on channel 04 or 06.
  • Records for drive 5 on CPU 022222 are presented as 0565, regardless of whether they have been recorded on channel 05 or 07.
