In a recent note, Shane said: > Subject: Re: Tapecopy of two (2) z/OS 1.7 install tapes??? > > Try Sams contribution to the CBT - very good. > And excellent value for money. > Does it: o Allow the user to control the VOLSER while copying all other information from the HDR1 labels? o Allow the user to copy fewer data sets than all on the input volume? (The first N would suffice for me; no need for discontiguous selection.) o OPEN each output data set, so it gets catalogued by the tape management product? o Support creating additional new data sets beyond those copied? (Separate job step works, but we have some cumbersome interactions with the tape management product we use.) o Operate with minimal user interaction to "confirm foreign volume"? o Generally provide compatibility with tape management products? SAS does the first two of these well; not so well on the remainder. An expert tells me that FATAR does better, but my management tells me that our license terms do not allow me to use FATAR. *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
