There are various reasons you might get that message. It is from the SMC component of Sun/STK that is used with their tape robotic software. Without getting into a lot of detail, the easiest way to bypass SMC (which handles all the tape allocations) is to specify a unit address in the JCL instead of an estoeric / generic. Example: //TAPEDD DD DSN=MY.DSN,DISP=SHR,VOL=123456,UNIT=/5200 (slash needed for 4 digit addresses) >> Can we just FTP to the tape drive as txt and let FTP do the conversion? Don't have this setup, but seems more straightforward. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
