ARCHIVE Parameters
Parameter Description
subset
This parameter specifies the subset of spool files to be archived. Turn to
Chapter 2 for information on using subsets.
filename
This parameter specifies the formal file designator of the new archive file.
This file cannot exist prior to the execution of the command unless
APPEND
is also specified. If the file name is omitted, the file name used will be the
current date.
files
This parameter specifies the maximum number of spool files that may be
put into the archive. An archive cannot contain more than
32,767
files.
sectors
This parameter specifies the size in sectors of the archive file.
outpri
This parameter specifies the output priority that all successfully archived
spool files will have after being archived.
PURGE
This parameter purges all spool files that have been archived once the
archive file is successfully created and closed.
ASK
This parameter prompts at each spool file to include for processing.
NOCOMP
This parameter specifies that compression will be disabled in the current
archive file. This will improve performance at the price of consuming more
disk space.
APPEND
This parameter appends the spool files to an existing archive file.
RELEASE
This parameter allows any user to unarchive spool files from an archive
file.
