Yes, I have 1 tape drive that is used to process an FP&L tape. It's connected to a PC and the data is processed by 2 apps. 1 that converts the data and another that ftp's to the Mainframe.
Very economical solution.

I know most of the systems I work with have tape > drives, but not all. I am just saying that *we* don't have any tapes in our ADCD system. And I was wondering if other ADCD installations have them. From your response, I am assuming that no tapes is a restriction our (ADCD) provider put on us. (In the 1.10 system, they had DFHSM active, which only migrated to level1. And spouted a number of error messages whenever it started that I was unable to fix without a lot of reading first. The 1.13 system came without DFHSM active.) > I have to believe its cheaper to back > up to tape than to DASD, and also a lot safer. I agree.
