6.

Repeat steps (4) and (5) to add each new FCU initiation parameter set to the new FCU parameter
definition file. If desired, you can use the Parameter-Wipe menu command (

) to clear the screen

before you enter the next set of parameters, or you can leave the parameters and make changes
where needed to specify the next new line in the file. Make sure to keep Data Exchange operations
that use OPEN-x FMT volumes in a separate FCU parameter definition file from operations that
use -A, -B, and -C volumes.

7.

If you need to insert a new line between two existing lines, go to the line above/before the line
to be inserted using the Parameter-Load commands (

), change the parameters as

needed, and then use the Parameter-Save-Insert command (

) to insert the new line. The new

line is inserted below/after the current line number.

8.

If you need to modify an existing line, go to the line to be modified using the Parameter-Load
commands, change the parameters as needed, and then use the Parameter-Save-Replace command
(

) to modify the line as specified.

9.

When you want to save your new FCU parameter definition file, select the File-Save menu

command (

). The file extension must be .prm.

Creating Multiple Volume Definition Files (Windows)

Multiple Volume Dataset is supported for FXmto when the version is 01-XX-50/YY (XX = 01 or 02) or
later. Multiple Volume Dataset is also supported for FXotm when the version is 01-XX-60/YY (XX =
02, 03, or 04) or later. The name of the multiple volume definition file is multidef.dat. It must be
placed under the current directory where the Data Exchange is to be executed. Specify the other
name in FAL_MULTI_DEF_FILE of the environment variable, if the name of the multiple volume definition
file needs to be changed.

NOTE:

Multiple Volume Dataset is supported in the case of FXotm when the version is 01-

XX-60/YY (XX =

02, 03, or 04) or later.

This parameter is the information for the head volume.
• VSN: A volume serial number with six alphabetic (A-Z, @, #, and \) or numeric (0-9) charac-

ters.

• DSN: Dataset name. (Use a maximum of 44 alphabetic or numeric characters.)
• VOLID1: A VSN identification. (Omit this parameter if a VSN identification is omitted in the

volume definition file, and specify the same as the volume definition file if a VSN identification
is specified in the volume definition file.)
