OK...I'm a bit baffled and readily admit it. I've created an EXEC in REXX to create a 12 step job to dump 420 DASD volumes to one 3592. Step one runs along fine and stacks all the volumes, 35 of them, fine in the first step. When the next step starts it belches on the tape so I know it's not passed correctly. I am sure it has to do with the RETAIN option..so do I put that on the last file of the first step or the first file of the next or both? This is a DR type of thing and the EXEC, which I inherited with the job, works great.
And yes...I have read the JCL User guide but it ain't helping a lot... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
