Jerry, Did you issue the FlexES CLI (Command Line Interface) command to "MOUNT" the tape to the z/OS instance? Is the physical tape assigned to the proper z/OS instance via the FlexES CLI? I vaguely remember these, but don't have the manuals downloaded to look up the exact commands required. The FlexES manuals are available at: http://support.funsoft.com/flexman/fsime120-index-man-fsi-007-000-006-00 6.html There is also a FlexES support forum mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribe Flex-ES Jerry Ragland -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
