The following table describes the PPRCOPY ESTPAIR command parameters for creating pairs.
Parameters |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
DDNAME, SYSNAME, or UNITADDRESS |
DDNAME = dname SYSNAME = sysxxx UNITADDRESS = ccuu |
Only one of the three parameters can be specified. The italic term is the arbitrary name, where dname is the JCL statement that identifies the volume, sysxxx is the SYSNAME of the ASSGN system control statement, and ccuu is the device number. |
PRI |
Primary volume: SSID, serial number, channel connection address |
To request the Split directly, specify MSF00 instead of a serial number. Note: This parameter is valid for MODE(COPY) or MODE(NOCOPY) only. To assign a pair to a CTG, specify MAnn0 instead of a serial number, where nn is a CTG ID. You must use these parameters to successfully run the command. |
SEC |
Secondary volume: SSID, serial number, channel connection address |
NA |
MODE |
COPY |
The system recognizes only COPY for the MODE parameter, even if NOCOPY is specified. |
NOCOPY |
||
PACE |
1-255 |
Copy speed is medium, regardless what is specified for the PACE parameter. |
CRIT |
Not applicable |
Not used by SIz. |
MSGREQ |
YES |
MSGREQ function is applicable. Do not specify this parameter in the following cases:
|
NO |
MSGREQ function is not applicable. |
|
LSS |
P-VOL or S-VOL CU number |
NA |
ONLINSEC* |
YES |
The pair is created whether the S-VOL is online or not. |
NO |
If the S-VOL is online, the pair is not created. |
|
* Not specifying and specifying NO for this parameter has the same effect. |

The following is an example of using the PPRCOPY ESTPAIR command to create pairs:
//SIICKEST JOB // EXEC PGM=ICKDSF //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * PPRCOPY ESTPAIR UNIT(3E00) PRI(X'00C6' 00002 X'00') - SEC(X'00C6' 00002 X'01') LSS(X'C6' X'C6') MODE(COPY)
