DISMOUNT Command

Function

     The DISMOUNT command relinquishes ownership of a device.  It does
     not  affect  your  allocation  requests,  if  you  have  used the
     ALLOCATE command, and you can MOUNT the device again.   Once  you
     have  dismounted  a  volume set, the device is available to other
     users.  However, if the  resource  was  not  allocated  with  the
     ALLOCATE command DISMOUNT performs an implicit DEALLOCATE.

     If you used the ALLOCATE command for the resource, the DISMOUNTed
     resource  remains  in  an  allocated  state  until  you issue the
     DEALLOCATE command.  Once you have dismounted a volume set,  your
     programs can no longer reference the resource by the logical name
     except with the MOUNT and DEALLOCATE commands.

Format

     DISMOUNT resource-name/switch,resource-name/switch,...

     Where:    For disk volume sets, the resource-name is  the  volume
               set-name or the logical name.

               For tape volume sets, the resource-name is the  logical
               name.

     You can use the following switches in the command string:

      Switch                            Function

     /HELP          Prints a short description of the command.  If you
                    specify  any resource names with this switch, they
                    will be ignored.

     /NONOTIFY      Does not set the system to notify  your  job  when
                    the  dismount  is  complete.   This is the default
                    function if you have not specified /NOWAIT.

     /NOTIFY        Sets the  system  to  notify  your  job  when  the
                    dismount  is  complete.   If  you specify /NOWAIT,
                    this is the default function.

     /NOWAIT        Allows your job to return to monitor level  before
                    the dismount is complete.  This implies /NOTIFY.

     /REMOVE        Removes the specified  file  structure  from  your
                    job's search list.  If no other jobs are accessing
                    the  structure,  and  if  it  is  not   a   system
                    structure, the operator physically dismounts it.

     /WAIT          Holds your job until  the  dismount  is  complete.
                    This is the default function.

Associated Commands

     ALLOCATE         Informs the system of your  future  need  for  a
                      resource.

     DEALLOCATE       Removes the resource from  your  job's  list  of
                      allocated  resources.   If  the resource has not
                      been dismounted, DEALLOCATE dismounts it.

     MOUNT            Requests ownership of the resource(s).

     SHOW ALLOCATION  Prints  a  list  of  the  resources   that   are
                      allocated and mounted for your job.

     SHOW QUEUE       Prints a list of  the  requests  in  the  system
                      queues.

Examples

     1.  The  following  example  shows  the  use  of  the   ALLOCATE,
         DEALLOCATE,  MOUNT,  DISMOUNT,  and SHOW ALLOCATION commands.
         The resources are reserved for a multivolume tape volume  set
         with  the  ALLOCATE  command.   The name of the volume set is
         TAPE-SET, and it contains three volumes.  The logical name TS
         is  assigned to the tape set.  The tape is write enabled, and
         it does not have standard labels.

         .ALLOCATE TAPE-SET(VOL1,VOL2,VOL3):TS/WRITE-ENABLE
         /LABEL:NONE<RET>
         [ALLOCATE REQUEST TS QUEUED, REQUESTS #672]

         A file structure named DSKR: is mounted for the job:

         .MOUNT DSKR:<RET>
         [MOUNT REQUEST DSKR QUEUED, REQUEST #673]
         [STRUCTURE DSKR MOUNTED]

         The job's resources are displayed using the  SHOW  ALLOCATION
         command:

         .SHOW ALLOCATION<RET>

         ALLOCATION FOR JOB 59 MARY MAROTTA [27,5434]

         TAPE-SET             VOL3               MAGTAPE VOL.  1    0


         The  tape  set  is  mounted,  and  the  resources  are  again
         displayed:

         .MOUNT TS<RET>
         [MOUNT REQUEST TS QUEUED, REQUEST #673]
         [MAGTAPE TS MOUNTED]

         TAPE-SET             VOL3               MAGTAPE VOL.  1    0


         After work with the tape set and the structure  is  finished,
         the  structure  is dismounted.  Because the structure was not
         explicitly allocated, it is automatically deallocated.

         .DEALLOCATE DSKR<RET>
         [STRUCTURE DSKR DISMOUNTED]

         The tape volume set is dismounted:

         .DISMOUNT TS<RET>
         [VOLUME SET TS DISMOUNTED]


         The job's resources are displayed:

         .SHOW ALLOCATION<RET>

         ALLOCATION FOR JOB 59 MARY MAROTTA [27,5434]

         DSKB                 DSKB               STRUCTURE     1    1
         DSKC                 DSKC               STRUCTURE     1    1
         TAPE-SET             VOL1               MAGTAPE VOL.  1    0
         TAPE-SET             VOL2               MAGTAPE VOL.  1    0
         TAPE-SET             VOL3               MAGTAPE VOL.  1    0

         At this point, the tape set can again be mounted, or  it  can
         be deallocated.  The tape set is deallocated:

         .DEALLOCATE TS<RET>
         [VOLUME SET TS HAS BEEN DEALLOCATED]

         .SHOW ALLOCATION<RET>

         ---                  RP06               DISK UNIT     1    1
         ---                  RP20               DISK UNIT     1    1
         DSKB                 DSKB               STRUCTURE     1    1
         DSKC                 DSKC               STRUCTURE     1    1


         .

     2.  In this example, you knew that the job was the only one using
         the  structure  BLKJ:  and included a /REMOVE switch, so that
         the operator would remove the disk pack from the drive.   The
         message  "BLKJ  DISMOUNTED" means that BLKJ:  is no longer in
         your search list, and that a request has been queued  to  the
         operator to remove the pack from the drive.  The message does
         not mean that  BLKJ  has  already  been  physically  removed.
         Because  this  command  implies /NOWAIT, you will not receive
         notification of the physical removal of the disk pack.

         .DISMOUNT BLKJ/REMOVE<RET>
         [BLKJ DISMOUNTED]

     3.  The following DISMOUNT/WAIT command causes the job to suspend
         further  processing  until all pending dismount requests from
         it have been  completed.   There  were  no  pending  dismount
         requests  from  this job, so the job returns to monitor level
         immediately.

         .DISMOUNT/WAIT<RET>
         NONE PENDING FOR YOUR JOB

         .
