Nathan, Are you Reading (the answer is YES) or Writing (the answer is NO).
The answer probably is somewhere in "z/OS DFSMS: Using Magnetic Tapes" Al Nims Systems Admin/Programmer 3 Information Technology University of Florida (352) 273-1298 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pfister, Nathan Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 2:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Tape Label Question I have a question about tape labels. On my DD for a tape, when I code the Label, I understand that the one parameter is the location/sequence on the tape...my question is do these have to be sequential? I.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Can I instead use 1, 2, 3, 4, 20 and still have it be recognized? Also, if there is an answer to this available in the manual could someone kindly point me to the right section of the right manual?
