Are you wanting to make a one-for-one copy of the tapes? If so, I can give you an example using DITTO (assuming you want to use DITTO).

I've used DITTO a little. Can you create File Mgr JCL for batch job submit, or will FM try to do it online and interactive? As to why make a copy? We are sending these tapes offsite for another group (consultant) to build our system for us. Company is PSR. My boss wants a copy for safe keeping in our tape library. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
