Title: (Paraphrase problem in a
single statement)Add a way to print the
contents of a tape created by IDCAMS BACKUP
Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
IDCAMS provides no clear way
to print the contents and details of a tape created by BACKUP. This is a
problem when you have no listing of the BACKUP job that created the tape and
don’t know exactly what is on the tape.

- High - Medium - Low)

Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year,

Justification: (Why? Non-technical
business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem
Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your
company, and the vendor and others?
Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)
Too much time is wasted trying to determine
what is on a tape created by BACKUP when no hardcopy listing is stored with the
tape. We need to be able to quickly and accurately determine what is on a
IDCAMS BACKUP tape.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Provide a function that will print the contents
of a tape created by BACKUP. Ideally, the listing would be similar to that
created by the original BACKUP.
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
Without a utility for IDCAMS to tell us what is
on the tape, operators spend too much time trying to verify the tape contents.
Sometimes, as a result, the wrong file is restored which requires repeating the
entire process.
