Its parametersare:vvvvNAME names the catalog, RSTUCAT2.VOLUME specifies that the catalog is to reside on volume VSER03. VolumeVSER03 is dynamically allocated.MODEL identifies USERCAT4 as the catalog to use as a model for RSTUCAT2.The attributes and specifications of USERCAT4 that are not otherwise specifiedwith the above parameters are used to define the attributes and specifications ofRSTUCAT2. The master catalog, AMAST1, contains a user-catalog connectorentry that points to USERCAT4. This is why USERCAT4 is specified asMODEL’s catname subparameter. Values and attributes that apply to RSTUCAT2as a result of using USERCAT4 as a model are:– FOR = 365 days (retention period)– CYLINDERS = 3 (primary) and 2 (secondary) are allocated to the catalog– BUFFERSPACE = 3072 bytes– ATTEMPTS = 2– NOWRITECHECK– CODE is null– AUTHORIZATION is null– OWNER is nullCATALOG specifies that the user catalog connector is to be defined in theAMAST1 catalog.Define a General Tape Volume Catalog: Example 7This example defines a general tape volume catalog namedTEST1.VOLCAT.VGENERAL.
