Hi Chuck -
This was an excellent suggestion. I had not considered using a TSO-submitted
job to prove/disprove the TSO MOUNT authority issue. I do not have TSO MOUNT
authority and yet, as you would expect, I was in act able to get a tape mounted
using TSO in batch and your sample REXX program.

Larry,
I just created a REXX exec to read a tape, submitted it to batch and it
requested, mounted and read the tape as expected and the EXECIO ended with a
return code of zero.
So, mounting tapes is possible in TSO/Batch.
However, having said that, I am JES2 not JES3.
Chuck
The REXX:
/* rexx */
"alloc fi(tapefile) da('S01CH.PRDC0904.SYS002') SHR"
"execio 10 diskr tapefile (stem taprecs. fini)"
say rc
The Tape:
