Dennis, here is the DFSMSRM command: 'dfsmsrm MOUNT VOLUME' label '(RDEV' tape_addr 'LIBNAME TAPLIB READWR WAIT ATTACH * VDEV 181'
but, the EXEC just plows on and i get SPXTAPE CANCEL INITIATED ON VDEV 0181 i think because RMSMASTR has not finished mounting the tape. the RC would be sufficient. prg Phillip Gramly Systems Programmer Communications Data Group Champaign, IL The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> wrote on 01/22/2008 05:53:50 PM: > Phillip, > Have you tried the WAIT option on DFSMSRM MOUNT?
