FEOV (FE)

The FEOV parameter forces the start of a new tape when the input dataset reaches End of Volume (EOV). As a result, the output and the input data sets have the same number of volumes (when the output tape holds at least as much data as the input media). The records are split among volumes in the same way as the input.


Warning

Important

This parameter is effective on only output tapes. The multi-volume input can be on tape or disk.

The syntax of the FEOV parameter is:

FEOV={Y}
     {N}

Y

EOV processing is performed for the output tape data set when the input dataset reaches EOV.

N

(Default) EOV processing is not performed for the output dataset when the input dataset reaches EOV.


Warning

Important

The FEOV parameter is only applicable to multi-volume data sets where the output is tape. Use FEOV only if an output dataset is present (when DDxxO exists) and the output device is tape.

Example:

$$DD01 COPY FEOV=Y

This example forces EOV processing when the input dataset reaches EOV.
