I have a project to review all the virtual tapes in the VTS and see which
tape datasets could go on dasd.
I am using CA1 to get the LRECL, BLKSIZE and BLKCNT to determine how many
bytes are on the tape. Then dividing that by the number of bytes per track
to get a rough estimate.
Is there a better way of doing this? I have over 100,000 tapes to review
and I am trying to make sure I have a good process.
Or is there a different formula I should be using other than
bytes = lrecl * blksize * blkcnt (and if blkcnt = 0 I
set blkcnt = 1)
