Hi,
If IBM would add support into z/OS for mounting a sequential file in AWS
format on a virtual tape drive it would solve a many of these data
exchange problems.
z/VSE seems to be ahead of the game here.
This would also significantly simplify the electronic delivery of
software by OEMs who are still using tape images with a required step to
reconstitute them into a physical tape before proceeding with the
install.

Gadi,
In that case, simply use CA-1/Copycat to copy (and stack) as many
virtual-volumes on the sending site as you need to transfer to a
physical
tape (the big assumption is that there is at least 1 tape drive that is
native attached) and then on the receiving site you can use something as
simple as IEBGENER to copy the stacked tape files onto in-house tapes.
Or
read them directly from the physical tape shipped from the sending site.
