This is one of the reasons we are an endangered species. It is ok and good that he asked. Those of you who have been around a long time should be gracious to teach the newbie, anything about the mainframe. All dinosaurs were once newbie's and didn't know how to mount a tape. Someone was gracious enough to teach us. It is our turn to do the same. It sounds like Jerry doesn't have someone to show him hands-on at this time. Let's start by finding out what you already knew. Do you know the volume serial number of the tape? Do you know which tape drive unit? Do you know which job asked for the tape? Do you know how to use SDSF? Do you have access to the operator or tape console and know how to use it? These are the things that can help answer your question.
