Resolution: I had written a REXX exec for a DR process that would read the TMSGRW report of volumes being taken to the DR site and generate a series of FDR Full Volume Restores. I was unable to test the actual JCL and so made some BIIIGGG asumptions. The FileSeq number generated was a 5

Ok, here is a very basic question: When I code the FILESEQ number on a Tape - it failes if I used hi order zeros. So it will not take 0001 but will take 1. I did not remember this being a restriction in JCL. At what point in the converter code would look at this and not like 0001. LABEL
