<archive tape volume>

── <tape name> ─┬────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────┤
                └─ <archive tape volume attribute list> ─┘

Explanation

The tape name specifies the name of the destination tape for the archived files. When the tape name includes a <string primary>, embedded periods will terminate the tape name unless the entire name is enclosed in quotes. If you do not specify a tape name, the system will create a name. For instance, if there is more than one <long file name> FROM <archive disk volume> clause in an ARCHIVE FULL, ARCHIVE INCREMENTAL, or ARCHIVE DIFFERENTIAL statement, the system uses the tape name FULL, INCREMENTAL, or DIFFERENTIAL followed by the date in the form YYDDD, where YY is the year and DDD is the day of the year. Otherwise, the system uses a tape name that consists of the disk family name followed by the date in the form YYDDD.

Examples

The following example causes the system to generate a tape name of the form INCREMENTAL95302:

ARCHIVE INCREMENTAL = FROM DISK, = FROM HLUNIT;

The following example causes the system to generate a tape name of the form DISK95302:

ARCHIVE FULL & COMPARE = FROM DISK;
