Write one of your own. Use ICKDSF to overlay the VTOC and then use an ALC program to do two passes of writing two blocks per track of low values and three blocks per track of low values(to nail that pesky interrecord cap left by the first one). It takes about the same amount of time as DFDSS's erase. If you can figure out how to write full track records, then you can do it in one pass. I am still trying to figure that one out.

Hello List,
I have gleaned the Archives on this subject, and have found NEW ERA's
FAST DASD ERASE, and IBM's DFDSS, ICKDSF and IEBDG.
Is the List aware of any other Vendors or products that offer a solution
($$) to writing over DASD at a DR site?
Our Budget and Accounting processes expect more than one Vendor Review.
(..aaaahhh Gov'mnt!)
