<h3>Clear (CLEAR)</h3>
|
|
<p>Specifies whether active data on the media is automatically cleared or replaced. Active data is any file on the media that has not expired. For saves to tape, clearing active data will make any files on the tape volume beyond the last file written by the save operation no longer accessible. For saves to optical, the files written by the save operation can be automatically replaced while other files on the volume remain active, or all active files can be automatically cleared. Clearing does not erase the data, it just makes the files no longer accessible.

<ol>

<li>Clearing an optical volume does initialize it.

</li>

<dl>

<dt><b><u>*NONE</u></b></dt>

SAVSYSINF DEV(TAP01) CLEAR(*ALL)

<p>This command saves the system information on the tape put on the TAP01 tape drive. Each uncleared tape is automatically cleared when it is encountered, and the save operation continues without operator intervention.

<p>This command saves the system information to the save file named SAVF in library QGPL. The save file will be cleared automatically. Information about what was saved will be written to the first member of the file named OUTPUT in library QGPL; the file and member will be created if they do not exist.
