RE: Problem with message description and tape initialization

You need to change the value in the Job Description for your Batch job for
message handling so that it uses the system Reply list.

Subject: Problem with message description and tape initialization

Hi everyone

I have a problem with changing message description and tape initialization
(or rather only with initialization, message descr is deriveed unit :-) ).

When I do backup to blank, new tape - which is not initialized yet, I got
message CPA4060 in QSYSOPR queue.
When I enter manually answer INZ - tape will be initialized.

But I wanted to do it automatically.

Using WRKRPYLE I added:

Change Reply List Entry (CHGRPYLE)



Type choices, press Enter.



Sequence number . . . . . . . . > 25 1-9999

Message identifier . . . . . . . CPA4060 Character value, *SAME,
*ANY
Compare data:

Comparison data . . . . . . . *NONE

Message data start position . *SAME 1-999, *SAME, *NONE

Message reply . . . . . . . . . 'INZ'



Additional Parameters



Dump the sending job . . . . . . *YES *SAME, *NO, *YES

Coded character set ID . . . . . *SAME *JOB, *SAME, *HEX...


And now when I enter command interactively i.e. SAVOBJ OBJ(FILE1) LIB(LIB1)
DEV(TAP02) on command line - tape is really initialized automatically.
In qsysopr message I see:

Device TAP02 cannot process loaded volume. (C R INZ)
Reply . . : INZ

But when I the same command enter in CL program and this program run in
QBATCH system ... "don't see???" above answer/reply and waiting for operator
answer.

I changed also description for message CPA4060 in QCPFMSG file - and now
default reply is INZ
Default reply . . . . . . . . . . . . . : DFT INZ

But still the same problem - interactively - work, in batch - doesn't work
:-(

Have you any idea?

Regards and thanks for any answer.
