Shmuel,
I gotta admit that this is one of your more timely responses, but, if you read
all before replying to the first, you may find that your reply is (always
welcome...) not always needed....grin....
BTW, I do always enjoy your learned responses, please keep them up.......
Bill, just the CICS Guy......

What kind of tape? 7-track or 9-track?

Which tape map? On what kind of drive?

That shouldn't matter except for 7-track.

You should have gotten one or more accompanying messages, probably IEA and IEC.
What were they? What is actually in the labels? Is there a TM after the HDR2?
The output that you attached showed a block size but not a record length. I'd
suggest that you look at the actual data, then code explicit RECFM, LRECL and
BLKSIZE values.
