---------------------<snip>----------------------
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

Bill, the labels, in this case, would be in file 1, not file 2. <G>
