One warning about COPYCAT, the more data sets you stack on a 3590, the longer it takes, I think it rewinds the tape between each data set written to a 3590, for 50 data sets it's not a big deal, for 500 or 5,000 it is a big deal. But regardless of what you use to stack your data sets on 3590s, I suggest that you stack data sets by expiration date, so all the data sets on a tape will expire at about the same time. Otherwise you can have 1 data set holding up a whole tape from being scratched for years. Thanks, Mark >From the COPYCAT manual I read that it requires CA-1 (TMS), and thus cannot >work with TLMS.
