Component: TLMS

Resolution

Chaining errors are corrected by breaking valid or invalid volume/data set chains, and rebuilding them. Update commands are used to accomplish these functions. These commands can only be used through the online CTS inquiry/update facility, the TSO CLIST CATLTSO or the CATINQR PROC batch report facility. They cannot be used with TLTPISPF online.

-  if the chain is valid,to break a volume/data set chain, use the following command: UPV vvvvvv,CHV=BRKCHN,  where the vvvvv is  the base volume
- if the chain is invalid, to break the chain use the following command: UPV vvvvvv,EXPDT=60001 where the vvvvvv is any volume
