Hi all,

First of all sorry for such a vague question which I have posted yesterday
and I can understand that your frustrastions are obvious. Anyways, thanks
for all your responses.

Now I will give my question in detail -

Hi have a FLEXES based emulated z/OS 1.6 and I have a tape drive attached to
it. Now I have a 3480 catridge, which has a installation setup in it. I need
to get the some contents of in to my DASD.

I issued d u,tape,online I got -
RESPONSE=ADCD
 IEE457I 08.26.19 UNIT STATUS 504
 UNIT TYPE STATUS        VOLSER     VOLSTATE
 0590 3490 O-NRD-R                   /REMOV

NRD - Not ready
O - Online
R - Reserved, shared DASD or exclusively-assigned device

With this I confirmed that unit 0590 is online and I prepared a JCL to
unload the contents from the tape. The JCL I used is -

//COPYINST JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*
//COPYSTEP EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
//MOUNTDD  DD  DSN=MY.TAPE.DATASET,UNIT=3490,DISP=(,CATLG)
//*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//*
//SYSUT3   DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1))
//R2       DD UNIT=3490,
//            VOL=SER=RIMS01,LABEL=3,DSN=IBM.HCI64.F2,
//            DISP=(OLD,KEEP)
//TDFHINST DD DSN=CICSTS31.TDFHINST,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(TRK,(24,6,5)),
//            VOL=SER=DSK31E
//SYSIN DD *
  COPY INDD=R2,OUTDD=TDFHINST
/*

When I submit this JCL and I found in the logs -

ICH70001I IBMUSER  LAST ACCESS AT 07:10:19 ON THURSDAY,
$HASP373 COPYINST STARTED - INIT 1    - CLASS A - SYS S
*IEF233A M 0590,RIMS01,,COPYINST,COPYSTEP,IBM.HCI64.F2

Then I tried d u,tape,online -

RESPONSE=ADCD
 IEE457I 07.19.49 UNIT STATUS 374
 UNIT TYPE STATUS        VOLSER     VOLSTATE
 0590 3490 A-MTP-R       RIMS01     PRIV/REMOV

A -Allocated
MTP- Mount pending
R- Reserved, shared DASD or exclusively-assigned device

With this I found the mount is pending so I cancelled the job and then tried
mounting the tape with - M 590,VOL=(SL,RIMS01) and I find in the logs -

*IEF233D M 0590,RIMS01,,MOUNT,590,SYS06033.T082929.RA000.MOUNT.R0100069
 521
         OR RESPOND TO IEF455D MESSAGE
*17 IEF455D MOUNT RIMS01 ON 0590 FOR MOUNT 590 OR REPLY 'NO'

I tried reply 17 with 590 but it is not accepting.

>From your earlier reponses I understand that there might me a separate
procedure to mount a tape in FLEXES based z/OS. Please let me know how to
proceed in this case.

Hope I am clear...
Thanks in advance

-Jerry
