Dan:
The 813-04 abend is due to the dsname in your jcl not matching the dsname on
the tape. You either have to specify the dsname in the jcl to match the tape
and treat it as a SL tape, or you can use LABEL=(2,BLP) to just process the
data(skipping over the internal label). If you choose the BLP approach, you
will need the correct dcb attributes for the file. To determine the internal
label and dsn, you can use a tape map program, if one is available or you
can use IEBGENER as follows:
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=ANYTAP,UNIT=3480,DISP=OLD,VOL=SER=T99999,
// LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80,RECFM=F,LABEL=(2,BLP)
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
Keep in mind that if the fully qualified dsname is longer than 17 bytes, you
will only see the last 17 bytes of it in the tape hdr, but you still need
the full name in your JCL.
Hope that helps

Subject: Tape Question

While wrapping up our DR, my boss dumped his files to a 3590-E tape. The
only tape drives at 'home' of that flavor are in the ATL. We inserted the
tape,
treating it as an unlabeled (external) tape. He is trying to restore the
tape
and we keep getting 813-04 errors. We're open to suggestions, examples, and
even a chuckle at our expense.
TIA...
