Thanks for your help I'll see if I can find any more information on

on Monday. It was very obvious that this was the first time this

gone multivolume. The tapes are created SL tapes so my thinking
was that
once the TMC was up and running on this system I could restore them as
SL. The problem was the tmc was not restored from the backup tape
but a
full volume backup. I never tried the concatination method, but
instead
we had it coded as vol=(,retain,,ser=111111,222222) it sounds like
the
concatination may have worked fine instead. The job is created
with Label=
(2,blp) on the first dataset then the next step might have label=
(5,blp) ...
Hmmm... maybe its the wrong question to ask but *WHY* would you ever
create dump tapes with BLP??
I just can't come up for any reason to do so.
This is DR and everything, IMO should be standard label and have a
restore JCL using the data set name it was created with. DR is not a
time to play russian roulette.
