TSIDMNT Commands RELEASE
Chapter 3. DSN Catalog Management Utility 3-35
RELEASE
Use the RELEASE command to unlock, for one use only, EDDs or versions that have been
placed in LOCK status (the UNLOCK command allows unlimited access). If you do not
indicate a specific version, the EDD is released for one use as output, so that you can create
one more version of the dataset. The new version is placed in locked status automatically.
If a specific version is indicated, that version is released for input, and BIM-EPIC allows you
to read it only once. After a released version is read, it is automatically put back into locked
status. RELEASE requires prior use of the LOCK command.
RELEASE '
dataset-name
' [,
specifier-expression
] [,PWD=
password
]
dataset-name is required and can be up to 44 characters long.
specifier-expression is optional. If used, it must be one of the following:
• VER=version-number
•
SER=volser
• GEN=generation-number
where version-number is an integer from 1 to 999. volser identifies the first (or only)
volume of a tape version and can be up to 6 characters. generation-number is an integer
from 1 to 999999.
password must be used if the dataset is password–protected. It can be up to 8 characters.
The following example releases the PAYROLL.MASTER dataset, supplying its password
HARRY, and permits one more version to be created.
RELEASE 'PAYROLL.MASTER',PWD=HARRY
The following example releases the version of the PAYROLL.MASTER dataset which starts
on volume serial number PR9485, and permits that version to be read once as input.
REL 'PAYROLL.MASTER',SER=PR9485
