than close on a multivolume restore
(Short description of what you want the
product changed to - include keywords like function, short product name)
Statement of
the Problem : (What? Detailed description of what you want
changed, 400 char.limit)
During aan IDCAMS restore with
multivolume tapes, IDCAMS issues a close at the end of the first volume if the
last file on the first volume does not span to the next volume. Because IDCAMS
issues a close, the tape management system does not know what volume to
request.

and benefits to users and vendor which can to
justify the needed change?. Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Also, wWhy
should is it important
for vendor to want to do this for their
customer?s)
This would reduce wasted time in researching
what tape volume the data file resided on, modifying JCL and operator
confusion, as well as after hours programming support.
Date : (When? ASAP, 6 months, one year from now, etc)
ASAP
Impact : (How? How will your company’s business be
affected if a solution is not
delivered.)
Unnecessary costs, production delays and
programmer overtime.
Solution : (optional desired / undesired elements Note: suggest can limit vendor ability to deliver a solution)
IDCAMS should provide an option that would
allow the specification that a tape management system is in use, which would
consequently change how IDCAMS handles EOV/CLOSE processing.
Classification : (Suggestion=Nice Idea, Long
Range=Future, Tactical=ASAP, or Acceptability=I won’t buy the product
or will drop the product if solution not provided)
ASAP
