1. A. 

   The records for all batches of Job J157 are to be output to a single tape. The command string for outputting Job “J157” has been entered in super, J157. This section also includes the instructions for preparing and writing the header and trailer labels required in the output command string and the subsequent purging of the data written to tape.

2. B. 

   Prepare header label as follows:

   1. 1. 

      Select Mode “E” and key the Job name “HDR157”, a comma (,), the digit 1 (one) as the batch number, and then press the skip key.

   2. 2. 

      Key the information for the header label as the prompts appear on the screen. These prompts are:

      1. a. 

         File ID: SOGONE - This is constant.

      2. b. 

         Reel No. 001 - This is constant.

      3. c. 

         DTE/MMYY: Enter the current month and year, e.g., MM = 01-12 as appropriate; YY = two low order positions of year.

   3. 3. 

      The header label is now complete.

3. C. 

   Execute the output command string as follows:

   1. 1. 

      Select Mode F and key the job name SUPER, a comma (,), and the batch identifier “J157.” Then depress the skip key twice. This will put you at record number 1.

      At the completion of the command string, determine if the WWR flags were set for all the batches as follows:

         Select Mode “J.”

      2. b. 

         Key the job name “J157” and then depress the skip key.

      3. c. 

         Page through the batches of job “J157” to be sure that all batches listed in record number 3 of the output command string contain the WWR flag and that no other batches contain the WWR flag.

4. D. 

   Once the tape has been written, prepare the external label as shown on the following sample.

1. E. 

   Place the external label on the tape reel, remove the reel and remove the “write ring.” Duplicate the tape on the back-up system.

2. F. 

   Prepare in triplicate, a tape transmittal sheet, Form SSA-3738 Tape Transmittal, according to the sample which is found at the end of this section.

3. G. 

   Distribute the copies of the Form SSA-3738 as follows:

   1. 1. 

      One copy should be retained with the back-up tape.

   2. 2. 

      Two copies should be given to the Pre-Claims Branch when the tape is picked up.

4. H. 

   When the tape has been duplicated, execute the command string to purge the batches written to tape as follows:

   NOTE: Do not purge any batches until the back-up tape has been prepared.

   1. 1. 

      Select Mode “F” and key the Jobname “SUPER,” a comma (,) and the batch identifier “PUR157.” Then depress the Skip key twice.

   2. 2. 

      Key the batch numbers to be purged into the $JOB 157 command.

      Record back to record number “1.”

   4. 4. 

      To execute the purge command string: Select Mode “T,” enter the password and then option “M.”

5. I. 

   This completes the outputting process.
