Hello Mark, Already mentoined are the tape copy utilities, whose source can be found on File 229 at www.cbttape.org
The programs are also found in the load library at File 35. //* 229 SOURCE COPYFILE - copies SL tape fls * FILE 035 //* 229 SOURCE COPYSLNL - copies SL to NL * FILE 035 //* 229 SOURCE COPYNLNL - copies NL to NL * FILE 035 //* 229 SOURCE IGG019WD - with COPYFILE * FILE 035 //* 229 SOURCE IGG019WE - with COPYFILE * FILE 035 //* 229 SOURCE COPYMODS - souped up version * FILE 035 //* with much extra capability * FILE 035 They allow automatic multi file tape copying to one or more output tapes concurrently. they also have other control parm options to split and merge tape files. refer to File 229 for more details: //***FILE 229 is a collection of tape copying programs that was * FILE 229 //* put together here by Sam Golob. The primary program * FILE 229 //* is called COPYMODS, and it can copy an input tape, * FILE 229 //* end to end, to as many as 16 output tapes in one * FILE 229 //* job step. In addition, COPYMODS has been enhanced to * FILE 229 //* include many new features, but its default operation * FILE 229 //* is still nearly identical to that of the original * FILE 229 //* COPYMODS program from Paul Tokheim of the U.S. Air * FILE 229 //* Force in Denver. Paul's original COPYMODS program * FILE 229 //* has been included here as member COPYMODO, so you * FILE 229 //* can see how many enhancements have been made. * FILE 229 //* * FILE 229 //* If you copy tapes a lot, you'll enjoy the many * FILE 229 //* options in the COPYMODS program. Additionally, * FILE 229 //* you can use COPYFILE, COPYSLNL, and COPYNLNL * FILE 229 //* and COPYNLNL to achieve whatever tape copying * FILE 229 //* results you want. If you can't do some job in * FILE 229 //* tape copying that you want to do, please contact * FILE 229 //* me, and I'll see if we can add a feature. Thanks * FILE 229 //* in advance. (S.G.) * FILE 229 //* * FILE 229 //* Keywords: TAPECOPY COPYMODS * FILE 229 //* * FILE 229 //* Note: COPYFILE and COPYSLNL now have an option to dump * FILE 229 //* ---- tape labels for copied files, in COPYMODS LABLDUMP * FILE 229 //* format. To enable this, you have to code a * FILE 229 //* //TAPELOUT DD card in the JCL, and also put a * FILE 229 //* //LABLDUMP DD card pointing to an FB-80 format * FILE 229 //* dataset that will receive the tape label images. * FILE 229 //* * FILE 229 //* >>> COPYFILE dumps and prints labels from the output tape. * FILE 229 //* >>> COPYSLNL dumps and prints labels from the input tape, * FILE 229 //* since the output tape from COPYSLNL has no labels. * FILE 229 //* * FILE 229 //* email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] * FILE 229 Regards Bruce Hewson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
