OUTPUT syntax rules and diagram

The following syntax diagram shows the options you can use with an OUTPUT statement to override the current default output descriptor values.

The default values (shown underscored) are the defaults distributed with the BMC AMI Copy installation options module, ACP$OPTS. If you do not specify an option in the SYSIN data set and BMC AMI Copy requires a value for that option during execution, BMC AMI Copy uses the value specified in the current installation options module.

When you use an OUTPUT statement in an BMC AMI Copy SYSIN statement to override default output descriptor values, these rules apply:

  • The statement must start with the OUTPUT keyword and the name of the descriptor you want to use to dynamically allocate your copy data sets.
  • You can specify only options that apply to the media you use; that is, all of the options must apply either to disk data sets or to tape data sets.
  • Any option that you do not specify will be used with the value specified in the current installation options module.
  • If you are not using the output unit specified in the current installation options module, the UNIT option must be the first option specified after the OUTPUT clause. You can specify all other options in any order unless they are subordinate to another keyword.
  • An asterisk in column 1 in the SYSIN data set specifies that the line is a comment that will not be echoed in the SYSPRINT output. A double hyphen (--) coded in column 1 through 70 also makes the rest of the line a comment.
