No such limit.  Don't use the ALTTAPE option, and you can mount as many
tapes on 181 one after another as needed for the dump.

The problem is not a 2 tape limit in DDR, its getting the ATL to mount
the tapes for you, and other posters have described how to do this.

Go to the listserv's web interface, select this list, and search this
subject line in the archives.  Then reread them in sequence.
