Input or output processing

z/OS MVS JCL Reference
SA23-1385-00

IN
One of the following
  • Indicates that a BSAM data set opened for INOUT or a BDAM data set opened for UPDAT is to be read only. The IN subparameter overrides the processing option in the assembler OPEN macro instruction. Any attempt by the processing program to write in the data set makes the system give control to the error analysis (SYNAD) routine.
  • In a system-managed tape library environment LABEL=(,,,IN) indicates that the allocated volume will be used for read-only purposes and that a read-compatible device can be allocated. For example, if the volume was written using 128-track recording technology on a 3590 Model B, a 3590 Model E or 3590 Model H device can also be allocated for this request. For more information about read-compatibility in a system-managed tape library environment and with other device types, see the tape device selection information in z/OS DFSMS OAM Planning, Installation, and Storage Administration Guide for Tape Libraries.
OUT
Indicates that a BSAM data set opened for OUTIN or OUTINX is to be written in only. The OUT subparameter overrides the processing option in the assembler OPEN macro instruction. Any attempt by the processing program to read the data set makes the system give control to the error analysis (SYNAD) routine.
