Issue/Introduction
RC/Migrator for Db2 for z/OS (RCM) models contain symbolic variables that are used to generate utility code. Many of these symbolic variables come
with pre-set values that my not be valid at the particular use site. RC/Migrator allows for users to edit these values as they see fit in order to comply with the local standards.
When a strategy is analyzed that uses tape it plugs in CART for the image copy allocation. The value has to be edited to TAPE or the job will fail.
This happens on unload/load as well as image copy.
How can this edit be avoided?
Cause
The model being used for the strategy, in the COPY utility, had the symbolic variable TAPE resolving to the word CART.

Resolution
This can be changed to be the word TAPE in the model being used. The model being used can be TEMPLATED(make a copy) and saved with a new model name
and that one changed unless the original model cannot be changed.
Update the model and use the "S" line command (Model Symbols screen) on the COPY utility. This will display the symbolic variables set to be used for this model member.
In the COPY utility model .....

TAPE CART <-------change the word CART to TAPE
Save the model or make a copy and use that. When this is used in the analysis the correct unit will be generated in the utility JCL for an IMAGE COPY. Do the same for any other utilities such as UNLOAD for example.
