Issue/Introduction

Description:

On sites where many generations (or many days) of the Power spool file are saved, a method should be available to restore (or upload) one of these generations.

Solution:

Example for 3 generations (3 days):

1. These JCL statements would be added to the standard labels after DYNAM is started:

   // TLBL OFFLA,'OFFL.CL.A,Z,DL'           This is the standard for output or ver=1// TLBL OFFLA2,'OFFL.CL.A,(-1),Z,DL'     This is for the father// TLBL OFFLA3,'OFFL.CL.A,(-2),Z,DL'     This is for the grandfather

2. To upload the father, this command would be entered at the console:

   POFFLOAD LOAD,LST,CAA,,X,TLBL=OFFLA2

Note: CAA is the POWER Dummy CUU.
