Bob, Yes, but not easily. Do you want to look at all the HDR and EOF records only, or all the data in between?
The HDR and EOF are all 80 byte records, the data between is whatever it is. You'd need to code the appropriate sequence number on the n,BLP parameter To get to what you want. The IDCAMS JCL I posted was created specifically for the tape librarians to verify the volser and the first file on a tape only. Alan Thanks all. Got it working. Could I read the whole cart using IDCAMS? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
