There is a requirement for PIPE support for SPXTAPE, similar to what was added to DDR. IBM closed it SUGG, IIRC. I suggest many of you submit requirements or ask me to do so again.
I really, really want to be able to do SPXTAPE in a synchronous version to LABELED TAPE.... Or send the output to a TCP socket. Or just deal with a 2nd level system that has no tape. -- db On 10/6/10 12:56 PM, "Mark Wheeler" <[email protected]> wrote: > Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2010 10:42:53 -0500 > From: [email protected] > Subject: Re: IPL VM/VM Issues > To: [email protected] > > I think this is an issue that needs to be addressed.
