MAXTAPE

The MAXTAPE option allows you to specify the maximum number of tape devices that LOADPLUS can use when dynamically allocating data sets.

For details regarding how LOADPLUS handles dynamic data set allocation when it reaches your MAXTAPE limit, see Reaching the MAXTAPE limit during dynamic allocation.

If you are loading a partition-by-growth table space and you specify COPYLVL PART to take partition-level copies, use the following formula to determine the copy portion of the MAXTAPE value. Add this value to any tapes that you need for dynamically allocated work files.

(# of existing partitions + 1) * # of copies per partition

Restriction

When invoking DSNUTILB, LOADPLUS ignores this option.

Specifying the default

You can specify the default for the MAXTAPE command option in your installation options module by using the MAXTAPE installation option. LOADPLUS was shipped with a default value of 3 for this option. The command option overrides the default that is in the installation options module.
