Multivolume processing
All multivolume reports that force input to make multiple passes over
the data are handled in the following manner. For each copy
requested, a complete pass is made over the group of volumes that
make up the current report. The input processor is forced to make
multiple passes over the input data for multicopy reports that specify
copy-sensitive CMEs, and (optionally) for multicopy reports that
exceed the size of the print file. CMEs are discussed in the “Copy
modification entries” section in the chapter, “Specifying output
parameters.” The choices available for handling print file saturation
are discussed under the VOLUME command RSAT parameter in this
chapter.
If a multivolume report requires multiple passes, messages appear
on the system controller display with instructions on which action
must be performed next.
Users with multiple volume jobs and multiple laser printing systems
may wish to print each volume on a separate system. This requires
that each volume be processed independently. Refer to the EOV
parameter for a discussion of this processing.
In the event of a system rollover while processing a multivolume
report, input (as a portion of the recovery process) displays the
following message, before performing a forward tape space to the
recovery point:
ENTER ’CON I’ WHEN VOLUME
n IS MOUNTED
As before, volume 1 is the start-of-job, and the volume specified by
n
is the volume containing data for the last page written to the print file
before the system rollover.
