Hi,

Just wanted to confirm something. I am going to use PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN' in the EXEC statement of the ADRDSSU program for taking adump. Does NONRUN mean that the job will not get executed at all or is it just that the dump will not be taken but the rest of the steps in the PROC will get executed. I am mainly concerned that a file should not get deleted.

Might be a very elementary question but I really wanted to know this quickly.
Sorry for the trouble

Thanks

abracadabra,

TYPRUN=NORUN - This parameter requests that only data set filtering is to be done if a RESTORE, COMPRESS, COPY, DUMP, or RELEASE operation is requested. If a DEFRAG is requested, then a DEFRAG report is printed but no data sets are actually moved. A full report is produced for a CONVERTV operation but no volumes or data sets are actually converted. This parameter is useful for simulating DFDSS processing to determine what its actual affect will be.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
