Subject: Virtual Tape ???
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?!
NO! IEBGENER is spectacularly bad at copying RECFM U files. Use DFDSS
COPYDUMP.

Tom Conley
