Understanding the access method


The utility automatically uses the SAM-E access method for writing an image copy data set.

This method provides equal or better performance as compared to previously used access methods and is supported for tape and DASD data sets.

In previous versions of the utility, the ICACC keyword was used to control the access method. This keyword is still accepted if it is specified with a valid value on a control statement or in an options module, but its value is ignored.
