Extent Number
and Address
BIM-EPIC records the extent addresses for each disk dataset. This
information includes:
extent sequence (1 for primary, 2 for the first secondary, and so
on)
beginning relative track or block number
size of the initial allocation
amount of allocation used
The amount of allocation used is smaller than the initial allocation if the
dataset has been truncated.
BIM-EPIC may allocate an additional extent if the extent being processed
is nearly full when the dataset is closed. This extra extent is called an EOF
extent.
Record Format,
Length, Block
Count, Block
Size
The actual record format, record length, block count, and block size are
recorded for each version. This information is recorded when the dataset
is created by a program that uses logical IOCS. The information can be
zeros if the dataset is created by a program that uses physical IOCS.
Creation
Date/Time
BIM-EPIC records the date and time the version was written.
Job/Device
Address
BIM-EPIC records the name of the job that created the version, the
partition in which it was created, and the address (cuu) of the device on
which it was created.
Last Access:
Job and Date
BIM-EPIC records the date the version was accessed and the name of the
job that requested access, each time the version is opened.
Expiration Date BIM-EPIC calculates an expiration date for each version based on
retention days and DLA retention. A version remains active past its
expiration date if it is still needed to satisfy cycles retention.
Tape Use and
Error Count
The tape use count indicates the number of times the tape has been
accessed. The tape error count indicates the number of read/write errors
encountered.
