Can EXCP(VR) read offline volumes now?
Checks for off-line volumes are made by allocation and open; if you build your own DEB, etc. EXCP will happily access an off-line volume.
I haven't read up on any of the changes to EXCP for quite some time. I once (25 years ago) had a tool that used STARTIO to read the label of an offline volume. It would read the VOL1 label then issue a WTOR indicating the volser of the offline volume. (I just found the code and the date on it is "APR 5,1988").
I have a forty-year old program to clip volumes off-line, and it's always used EXCP.
If anyone wants this ANCIENT code I still have a copy...just email me and I'll forward you a copy. No guarantees as I doubt it will still work.
If 1988 code is ANCIENT, what does that make 1970 code? <G> Gerhard Postpischil Bradford, VT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
