z/OS V1R6.0 DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs

EXPORTDuring CIMODE processing, data set statistics, such as the number oflogical records and the number of inserted records, are not maintained.Data set statistics are not maintained because VSAM cannot update logicalrecord information when whole control intervals are processed. Afterrecalling a data set, a LISTCAT might not show accurate freespace bytes,and a read against the VVR might show zero records although records doexist.Abbreviation: CIMRECORDMODESpecifies that cluster data records written to the portable data set areprocessed as one VSAM logical record.On a system without control interval processing support, RECORDMODEis the default.For LDS clusters, the default is CIMODE.Abbreviation: RECMERASE|NOERASESpecify whether or not the components of the cluster or alternate index to beexported are to be erased (that is, overwritten with binary zeros). Thisparameter overrides whatever was specified when the object was defined orlast altered.This parameter can be specified only if the object is to be permanentlyexported (that is, deleted from the original system). It does not apply tocatalogs that must be exported as TEMPORARY.ERASESpecifies that the components are to be overwritten with binary zeroswhen the cluster or alternate index is deleted. If ERASE is specified, thevolume that contains the data component must be mounted.If the alternate index is protected by a RACF generic or discrete profile,use RACF commands to specify an ERASE attribute as part of this profileso that the data component is automatically erased upon deletion.Abbreviation: ERASNOERASEspecifies that the components are not to be overwritten with binary zeroswhen the cluster or alternate index is deleted.NOERASE does not prevent the data component from being erased if it isprotected by a RACF generic or discrete profile that specifies the ERASEattribute. You can use RACF commands to alter the ERASE attribute in aprofile.Abbreviation: NERASINFILE(ddname)Specifies the name of the DD statement that identifies the cluster, alternateindex, or catalog to be exported. If the cluster, alternate index, or catalog hasbeen defined with a maximum logical record length greater than 32760 bytes,EXPORT processing ends with an error message, except for EXPORT withcontrol interval processing support.In addition to the DD statement for INFILE, one of the following conditionsmust be true:vThe object’s entry is in the master catalog.Chapter 23.
