I did indeed read that piece after I had sent the E-Mail.
I am not going to get into Movefile etc.
I will have to scratch my head and see what I can do on z/OS.
Thank you.

En réponse à Kris Buelens <[email protected]> :
You're out of luck with DDR. From DDR's online help:
3. Copying data from one device to another of the same type. Data may be
reordered by cylinder or block when copying it from disk to disk. In
order for one tape to be copied to another, the original tape must have
been created by either the DDR command or the DDRXA stand-alone utility
DUMP function.
But, using a series of MOVEFILE, or PIPE TAPE ! TAPE TAP2 commands you can copy the tape, but yoy will have to know how many iterations to do. DITTO TT is bit easier in that respect.

Afternoon all,
yes, we are going backwards..
A customer of ours has received a z/OS 1.12 Serverpac on two 3590 cartridges.
Cleverly, he does not possess such drives, only 3490 units.
Would it be possible to do a DDR tape-to-tape copy using the above as input and Tonnes of 3490's as output??
The other alternative would be perhaps DITTO in z/OS batch, but I want to try and be clever first... :)
TIA and regards,
Andre
