Parameter Description for BADTRACK

z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Reference
SA32-0992-00

VOL=xxxxxx
Specifies the 5- to 6-character volume serial number on which the defective tracks are. If you specify a volume that has not yet been formatted by JES2, the entire volume will be formatted and then the associated track group will be removed from availability.

This parameter has no default. This parameter must be specified.

Modification: Hot start.

ADDR=(cccchhhh[-cccchhhh])
Specifies a track address or a range of track addresses of defective tracks where cccc is the hexadecimal cylinder identifier and hhhh is the hexadecimal head identifier. The starting and ending track addresses are in the same format as in the $HASP094 message, which is issued when the I/O error occurs. Because the track group is the basic unit of allocation, the member is unable to allocate tracks within a defective track group. This means that the actual range of tracks removed may be larger than that specified by this parameter.

This parameter has no default and must be specified. If you specify a range of addresses, the starting address must be smaller than the ending address.

Modification: Hot start.
