ADD
Use the ADD command to add a new version to a controlled dataset. To create a new BIM-
EPIC dataset definition (EDD) for a previously uncontrolled dataset, use the CATALOG
command.
ADD can be used to add a new version that was created outside BIM-EPIC control or to
recatalog a deleted version. Once a dataset is controlled, all new versions created under BIM-
EPIC are added to the DSN Catalog automatically.
BIM-EPIC resequences version numbers as you add new versions. For example, if you add a
new version, the previous version 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 3, and so on. To add more than
one version in a specific sequence, make sure to add the oldest version first and the newest
version last.
It is possible for some versions of a tape dataset to have standard labels, while other versions
are unlabeled. When you add a tape version to the DSN Catalog, its entry automatically
receives the label type in the EDD. If a particular tape's label type differs from the EDD’s, use
the UPDATE command to modify the EDD’s label type temporarily. Use ADD to add the
new tape version. Then change the EDD back to the previous label type.
If an Automated Cartridge Library (ACL) is supported, ADD sets the tape volume to “non–
scratch” status in the ACL inventory.
If the VTOC entry for a disk dataset has been deleted, ADD does not re–create it. As long as
the VTOC entry is deleted, that disk space is free and can be re–used for another dataset. If
this occurs, do the following:
Ensure that the disk space has not already been reused.
Use the BIM-EPIC PACKSCAN ADD function to re–create the VTOC entry as soon as
possible.
Use the ADD command to add the version to the DSN Catalog.
