We got rid of all of our 800 bpi tapes a long time ago- sometime around 1990 I
think, because the new version of MVS we were installing at the time no longer
supported 800 bpi. Since we had a major customer who required that support, we

It's been a decade or two, but concurrent batch/online was a base
feature of IMS. Problems included the difficulty in backing out the
effects of a malfunctioning batch program.

My knowledge of IMS is minimal but I seem to recall there being two flavors
of IMS batch processing
IMS DL/I was usually offline processing where files could not be accessed
concurrently by the onlines
IMS BMP (Batch Message Processing) was where the batch jobs accessed the

I appreciate all of the replies. As I had figured, we're pretty much
out of luck right now. We're going to try and figure out a way to get
on a 3420 that can read 800 BPI, but we may still have an issue with OS

It's called BMP -- Batch Message Programming.
Instead of going against the database directly, the Batch job talks to
An early foray into file encryption showed this behavior, IIRC. Some
enciphering algorithms are said to be really heavy CPU hitters.
If you are encrypting then you need to be careful with compression.
Encrypted data is said to be generally not compressible.

Compress first.
Then encrypt.
