Have you looked at the "mt" command? Unfortunately, that is one that varies quite a bit depending on the UNIX system. A quick look showed a command: mt weof 1 to write a single EOF marker at the current position. Assuming that you're not talking about z/OS UNIX, which writes an EOF during the CLOSE of the DCB. I don't think there is a z/OS UNIX interface to tape, just "legacy" access. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
