352 TAPECOPY Procedure Chapter 16
NOLIST
tells SAS not to write the tape characteristics and the summary of copied files to
the SAS log. Even when you specify NOLIST, the SAS log contains a brief
summary of PROC TAPECOPY’s action; this summary is usually enough to verify
proper functioning of PROC TAPECOPY if you are familiar with the contents of
the input tape(s).
NORER
tells SAS not to specify the "reduced error recovery for tape devices" feature of the
operating environment for each input tape volume. When NORER is specified,
some tapes of marginal quality can be read successfully by PROC TAPECOPY
because the error recovery procedures are more extensive.
OUTDD=DDname
specifies the DDname that is referenced in the JCL DD statement for the output
tape. The default OUTDD= option value is VOLOUT.
OUTVOL=volume-serial
specifies the volume serial of the output tape when deferred mounting is specified
in the DD statement for the output tape. The OUTVOL= option specification
overrides the volume serial, if any, that was specified in the DD statement for the
tape.
Specify the OUTVOL= option only if you are using deferred mounting.
INVOL Statement
INVOL options ;
The INVOL statement defines an input tape volume from which some or all files are to
be copied to the output tape volume. The INVOL statement is not necessary if you are
using only one input tape nor for the first of several input tapes. (Use the INDD= and
INVOL= options of the PROC TAPECOPY statement instead.) When you are using
several input tapes, use an INVOL statement for each tape after the first input tape.
The following options can appear in the INVOL statement:
DSN | DSNAME=’physical-filename’
specifies the data set name of the first file on the current input tape. You must use
this option when both of the following conditions are true:
3 The data set name specified in the DD statement is incorrect or missing.
3 LABEL=(,SL) is specified (or implied by default) in the input tape volume DD
statement.
You typically use this option when one of the following conditions is true:
3 The DD statement for the input tape specifies deferred mounting.
3 You are reusing a DD statement (and tape drive); that is, the fileref is the
same but you want another standard labeled tape volume on the same unit.
LABEL=(,SL) should be specified or implied by default, and the data set
name cannot be the same as that on the previous tape that was used with
this fileref.
INDD=DDname
specifies the DDname that is referenced in the JCL DD statement for the current
input tape. The default INDD= option value is the DDname that is already in
effect for the previous input tape volume, as specified in the PROC TAPECOPY
statement or in the last INVOL statement.
