Archiving dual CMRDETL data sets

When ARCHJCL=CMRDJCL (default) or ARCHJCL=proc is specified in CMRDTL00, the archive process is initiated automatically when CMRDETL becomes full, an I/O error occurs, or a switch is manually requested with the FST2 SWITCH command.

BBSAMP member CMRDJCL contains sample JCL to execute CMRPURG when a detail file switch occurs. The steps in CMRDJCL must run when archiving a CMRDETL data set in a dual data set environment.

BBSAMP member CMRDPARM contains the necessary CMRPURG control statements to archive a CMRDETL data set in a dual CMRDETL data set environment.

The following control statements must start in column 1 and be included when you use CMRPURG to archive dual CMRDETL data sets:

• HISTORY=OUT

• DATE=12319999

• LEAVE (specifies whether to leave data in CMRDETL or purge it after archival)

  Valid values are as follows:

  • NO specifies that data is removed from CMRDETL. This value is not recommended. Data will not be available for online access after the switch.

  • YES specifies that data remains in CMRDETL after archival. This value is recommended. It provides HISTORY access to the data after a data set switch occurs.
