>I do understand that you want to use TMM. However, in this specific case, why not just COPYDUMP from the old ATL to the new ATL without using TMM? I would guess that you will need to do any dataset stacking from the old volumes onto the new volumes "by hand". I'd likely do this in a single step with UNIT=AFF and VOL=REF= in the JCL so that there will only be a single mount of the new tape volume. I don't know how many volumes you have which would be a definate impact on how hard it would be to actually do. Your tape catalog may help because it should have the block count on the existing COPYDUMP tapes so that you can get a decent estimate of how to stack them onto the higher capacity 3592 tapes. > >I know it's not what you want to do, but it may be better than doing a bunch of RESTORE and reDUMPs. > Yes, that sounds like a better approach than RESTORE and DUMP. We'll give it a whirl. Thanks John.
