Yes. 99 sounds like a good value to ensure you get everything on the tape, BUT, HSM divides the total number of volumes to dump by the STACK value to determine the number of tasks to run. MAXDUMPTASKS DOES NOT APPLY WHEN USING STACK!!! So 99 can over- or under-allocate your tape drives. Tony Pearson promised that he would fix this, but they never got around to it.
I don't think MAXDUMPTASKS is completely ignored. Even with a relatively small STACK value, I've never had *more* than MAXDUMPTASKS running simultaneously. Could it be that you observed a situation in which *fewer* than MAXDUMPTASKS were started because of a huge STACK value and a small number of volumes to be dumped?
