Thank you, I will give it a try.
It seems like Z/OS does on like a totally blank tape unlike z/vm.
Every time I tried a blank Z/vm 3590 tape, Z/os ejected the tape.
Once i used ddr on the same 3590 tape, DITTO would allowed me to browse t
he
tape.
I did get a DDR 3480 backup tape to copy to a 3590 tape with DITTO once i
DDR the 3590.
I DDR the 3590 tape then copyed using this JCL
//COPYIT EXEC PGM=DITTO,PARM='JOBSTREAM'
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INTAPE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DUMMY,LABEL=(,NL),
// UNIT=TAPE34,VOL=SER=008058
//OUTTAPE DD DISP=(NEW,KEEP),DSN=DUMMY,LABEL=(,NL),
// UNIT=TAPE35,VOL=SER=VM0065
//SYSIN DD *
$$DITTO REW INPUT=INTAPE
$$DITTO REW OUTPUT=OUTTAPE
$$DITTO TT INPUT=INTAPE,OUTPUT=OUTTAPE
/*
I will give the GENER a try.
I still have to DDR the 3590 tape into VM. To double check.
