TAPE STATUS/CONTROL application


The TAPE STATUS/CONTROL application reports the status of tape drives on the specified target system, and allows the operator to issue commands to modify that status.

TAPE STATUS Control panels

The data display area shows tape drives and their status.

The information is similar to the output of the MVS Display Unit command. Here, the information is in a scrollable list from which you can select devices with the desired characteristics, using simple commands. Device status is shown in three columns.

The data display area shows tape drives and their status. The information is similar to the output of the MVS Display Unit command. Here, the information is in a scrollable list from which you can select devices with the desired characteristics, using simple commands. Device status is shown in three columns.

You can use line commands to alter device status just as if they had been issued at the operator's main console. There are two types of line commands: BMC AMI Ops Automation and SYSPROG line commands.
