Is that in TOD format? Regardless, the major hurdle would be changing the label format, not merely a hardware innovation. How was this handled for Y2K? Windowing? What's the current capacity of EXPDT on tape labels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
