Hiya fellow list servers. I've got a STUMPER for the resident braintrust. Is there something I don't understand about Virtual Tape that I should, or am I just missing it and very DENSE?!
A Virtual Tape should (does?) conform to the normal file-format standards as would a *REAL* physical tape, yes? And also regarding tape labels, DCB, etc.? So if I had several DFDSS dumps on Virtual Tape (3490) and was copying each of them off to just *ONE* real tape (3590), and stacking each as its own LABEL=(#,SL) etc., using IEBGENER, it should work, YES?! I am making the assumption that the *input* DCB would be copied to the *output* DCB on the real tape, since I am processing with LABEL=SL ?? I'm getting conflicting DCB parameters, even when I specify input/output DCB info, which for DFDSS is (RECFM=U,BLKSIZE=65520). When I don't specify *ANY* DCB in the IEBGENER JCL, I get RC=12 and: IEB352I WARNING: ONE OR MORE OF OUTPUT DCB PARMS COPIED FROM INPUT IEB317I JOB TERMINATED,NO INPUT BLKSIZE/LRECL Specifying *just* Input DCB or *both* Input/Output DCB: IEB352I WARNING: ONE OR MORE OF OUTPUT DCB PARMS COPIED FROM INPUT IEB368I SYSTEM DETERMINED BLKSIZE USED FOR OUTPUT IEB311I CONFLICTING DCB PARAMETERS I have used TAPEMAP to dump the input tapes to verify DCB info. Any thoughts or direction on this would be greatly appreciated.
