Tape Capacity Planning Record Field

This is the section for tape capacity planning information. If tape capacity planning records are requested, one record is created for each of the following types of DFSMShsm tapes:

Migration level 2 tapes
Incremental backup tapes
Full volume dump tapes.

Both the MCDS and BCDS are needed to create these records. If backup availability is not enabled in the installation, the BCDS DD statement in the job must be specified with a DD DUMMY value.
