Re: Batch Job to Eject Cartridge(s)



Art,
Seems there could be a list of ways you could do this .....
1. DFSMSrmm - run RMM CV volser EJECT command in batch TMP
2. From rexx, use the console interface to issue the operator LIBRARY EJECT
command
3. Look at the sample (SAMPLIB) CBRSPLCS - it is a ready written program
that processes an input file containing commands such as E for EJECT; it was
provided by OAM to show how the CBRXLCS macro interface could be used to
drive system managed tape events, but can be used ASIS.
4. In z/OS V1.9 rmm ships a EDGSPLCS that is now fully documented and
supported that amongst other things can do what CBRSPLCS does.

I was reading in IBM TS3500 Tape Library with System Z Attachment: A
practical Guide to TS1120 Tape Drives and TS3500 Tape Automation? page
382 section 13.8.1 that a Batch Job could be used to Eject tapes from the
ATL.
But I could not find an example of the JCL.
I have searched several of the IBM Redbooks and can not find one.
Would anyone happen to know what Redbook I can find an example? Or
supply
me with the jcl.
