You may use TV (Tape to VSAM) function of DITTO/ESA. If the tape block size is less than 32760 bytes, you can use TS (Tape to Sequential data) function. When you define the VSAM ESDS for over 32K tape block size, you have to specify SPANNED parameter and large number of RECORDSIZE that fit the tape block size.
2007/7/6, Chicklon, Tom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I think I'm out of luck, but wanted to verify first. We're z/OS 1.7. We've had a number of small DSS DUMP files written to tape that I want to move to DISK. Unfortunately, it seems that the dump files on tape get created with a block size of about 64K, and from the DSS manual: The COPYDUMP command cannot change the block size of the DFSMSdss dump data set. If you are copying a dump data set to a DASD device, the source block size must be small enough to fit on the target device. Is there no way to copy these DSS dump files to disk other than restoring the files (renaming them of course) and backing them up again?
