The following table describes the PPRCOPY SUSPEND command parameters for splitting 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

You can specify MPS00 or MAnn0 instead of a serial number, where nn is a CTG ID.

MPS00 is used for a steady split request.

Use MAnn0 to Quick Split all pairs in a CTG.*

If you specify parameters other than the serial number, MPS00, or MAnn0, the command is rejected.

SEC

Secondary volume: SSID, serial number, channel connection address

NA

PRIMA

Not applicable

Not used by SIz.

LSS

P-VOL or S-VOL CU number

NA

* When executing Quick Split for all the pairs in a CTG, make sure that the status of every pair is DUPLEX. If you are in the process of copying the pair (PENDING status), Quick Split can end abnormally (reporting CC = 12). If this occurs, wait until the copy operation ends. For more information about the prerequisites for Quick Split, see Other pair splitting methods.

The following is an example of using the PPRCOPY SUSPEND command to split pairs:

//SIICKSUS JOB
// EXEC PGM=ICKDSF
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
PPRCOPY SUSPEND UNIT(3E00)
