I don't remember if this was answered or not, but is there really a 99
volume limit in DFHSM? I would think that would be something fairly easy
for the HSM people to change, atlhough I may be wrong about that.
This whole thread reminds me of one of my first big projects as a sysprog
when I worked for Milwaukee County. I wrote a system like HSM for backing
up the changed and new datasets on our TSO packs. Everything back then was
backed up to tape (good old 3420 round reels - state of the art at the
time). I wrote everything out to tape using IEBGENER for one set of tapes,
and IEBCOPY for another set of tapes. I think back then, the LABEL=
parameter had a limit of 99, so we put a maximum of 99 files on each tape.
Ah for the good old days when I wrote a lot of assembler!

We suggested to the customer to switch to larger volumes, but he said:
They are small software developing shop and need small volumes for the
developers' teams.

Use bigger volumes?

Hello,
Customer is using HSM and claims that HSM won't let him put more then 99
disk volume backups on one cartridge.
Is there is a way to overcome this limit?
The customer would like to utilize his 3592 cartridges more efficiently.
Thanks,
Arye Shemer.
