I'm sure it got fixed because I never heard of the problem happening
again. But I guess my memory is selective because I only remember the
fun part of making things smoke. Sorry - no details about the fix.

Did StorageTek fix it, perhaps by capping the duty cycle?
Those were the little foil reflectors, programmatically referred to as BOT
and EOT. For partially overwritten tapes could fwd space to the EOT and do
a Read Backwards.
Think most of the vendors were Potter Brumfield or Ampex rebranded. There
were rumors of a 13k 9trk but the Carts appeared

Way later than the 1950's, a tape operator called me to watch a Storage
Tek reel drive do something strange: He mounted a scratch tape and the
job took off spinning the reels so fast that soon the metal capstan got
hot enough to melt the tape, basically destroying both tape and capstan.

We still have some mod 9s around, most of ours are mod 27 or 54.

At our site there is no difference if I use DSN= or SYSOUT=* in my
JCL for STDOUT and STDERR. Output from all threads is written to the file.
At tzhe customer site if DSN=xxx is used, only output from the main

I've tried to reproduce it locally on our z/OS System. I've allocated a
Data Set in RECFM=VB (and large block size) and a second test with
an allocated RECFM=V data set. No differecne at our z/OS system. It
works like a charm in both cases...

Peter,
yes, you are right, but afaik this is nto the truth for stdout and
stderr. IIRC I've read in the C/C++ manual that stdout and stderr are
handled differently

Phil,
For your last question, take a look at the JCL Reference. There's a chapter
on started tasks that talks about some of this stuff. (By the way, the doc
uses the term "started job" for what you call a "proc with a JOB card", and
"started proc" for the not-a-JOB case.)
You might want
Thanks for this, SYSEVENT REQLPDAT look like the answer.
