---------------<snip>------------
I have an oldie but a goodie. One of our user areas sent us 9 3420 tapes
today, and some of them appear to be 800 BPI. When I run tape map against
the tape I get the data in the attachment.
I am trying to read these files on a 3420 tape
drive, and when I put the density (DEN=2) into my JCL I get a 413-24 abend.
I've tried various combinations and I cannot seem to get these old tapes to
read, and without density IEBGENER gets a RC=12 for conflicting DCB info.
I've also tried BLP and specifying the DCB parms directly, and still no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can possibly get this to read
on our tape drives, or is there a hardware setting on a 3420 that will make
this possible?
I looked in the archives and did not find anything specific about this, and this
is a little before my time.

Stop providing ANY DEN= parm; let the drive/controller/operating system
make that decision. That's what TAPEMAP does.
