You have an implied DISP=(NEW,DELETE). IEBGENER may not like that for SYSUT1 which is input. Add DISP=OLD to your JCL.
How did you operator know which tape to mount? Do you have a tape management system? Most object to using a scratch tape for input. Specify any volser you like other than SCRTCH or PRIVAT. (If your tape is in a robot, specify the volser the robot knows about.) Since there is not VOL1 header, the system will not (cannot) check and will accept any non-labeled tape. Did you really mean to skip to file 2? Is file two actually present? -----Original Message----- From: Crispin Hugo [mailto:snip] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 4:25 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: IEBGENER and unlabled tape I have a tape with no VOL1, HDR1/2. Just data. I want this to be input to IEBGENER. I specify DCB information. //SYSUT1 DD DCB=(RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=32720,LRECL=80), // LABEL=(2,NL), // UNIT=590 I get error I IEC145I 413-18,IFG0194A,MCHJOB,COPYXMT,SYSUT1,0590 Error seems to imply that I need a VOL=SER= but the tape has no VOL1.
