Tape Processing
Labeled and Unlabeled Tapes
Description BIM-EPIC supports both labeled and unlabeled tape processing.
BIM-EPIC automatically changes the DTF for an unlabeled tape
(FILABL=NO or LABEL RECORDS OMITTED) to a DTF for a labeled
tape (FILABL=STD or LABEL RECORDS STANDARD) when you
supply a TLBL with the DTF name. This enables you to convert to
labeled processing without making program changes. BIM-EPIC does not
affect user header label processing.
DSN Catalog To indicate standard label processing, specify LBL=YES on the
TSIDMNT CATALOG statement or UNLABELED=N in the Online
Manager panel. To indicate unlabeled processing, specify LBL=NO on
the TSIDMNT CATALOG statement or UNLABELED=Y in the Online
Manager panel.

Requirements
When processing a BIM-EPIC controlled dataset on an unlabeled tape, a
TLBL or a DD statement for the dataset must be present. A label is not
written on the tape volume, but the BIM-EPIC Catalog requires a dataset
name for control purposes. Standard VSE processing does not require a
TLBL for unlabeled tape datasets.
