Estimating the term…
A method and computer that reduces ABENDs due to end of volume encounters of a job. The method provides an extend-to-new volume processing in response to such encounters. The method permits the definition of primary storage groups and extend storage groups and allows the linking of an extend storage group to a primary storage group. When the job encounters an end-of-volume condition on the current storage volume and is further unable to extend to a new volume in the primary storage group, the method then tries to find a new volume in one or more extend storage groups that are linked to that primary storage group. If no new volume can be found in an extend storage group, an ABEND process is performed.
A method for reducing ABENDs in a data processing system when a job encounters an end of a current storage volume, said method comprising:
A computer that reduces ABENDs when a job encounters an end of a current storage volume, said computer comprising:
A memory media for causing a computer to reduce ABENDs when a job encounters an end of a current storage volume, said memory means comprising:
The memory media of claim 21, wherein said plurality of extend storage groups is available to said second operation according to a priority.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
