Hi Juan,

I don't know whether or not this would be helpful to you, but the CBT mods "tape" contains a TAPEMAP program that does a real good job of displaying what's on a random tape. You can get it at "www.cbttape.org".

Also, around 30 years ago or so, I wrote a DSCOPY program that will perform any number of sequential copies in a single jobstep. You still would have to set up DD card pairs for each file you wanted to copy, but that at least beats trying to use IEBGENER. That's also available on the CBT tape.

Hi,

I have a TAPE containing many datasets (there were copied to tape using IEBGENER utility program). What is the easiest way to download to disk ALL the TAPE datasets? (i want 1 sequential disk dataset per tape dataset exiting on the volume)

I beleive DITTO can be used for this, but after a quick look to its documentation i was unable to find this specific function. Of course, i can run an IEBGENER job, with 1 step for each tape label to be copied, but i was looking for something not requiring so much work.

Thanks in advance for your help,


JUAN MAUTALEN
