Issue/Introduction

When a large report (such as a joblog) has been archived to tape in View, can it be viewed directly from the tape, or does it need to be recalled back to disk first?

With the View EAS tape robotic, reports are read directly from tape, rather than needing to first be loaded to the View disk layer.

Here are the basic elements needed to use the View EAS tape robotic.

. Establish a SAREAS started task:

//SAREAS PROC CAI=view_hlq
//*                                                                   
//SAREAS01 EXEC PGM=SAREAS,                                            
//  PARM=('C=XCF,E=VWE0,LS=L350,MA=600,MI=15,NB=50,NREA=4',           
//  'NREQ=200,NT=4,T=ONLY'),                                          
//        TIME=NOLIMIT,REGION=0M                                      
//*                                                                   
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&CAI..CVDELOAD                            
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=X                                               
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=X                                               
//        PEND                                                        
//SAREAS   EXEC SAREAS

In the SARINIT parameters, use:

EASTNAM1=VWE0  (to match the above E=xxx field value)
TAPEOPT=EAST,HARD,NOSOFT
