Robin, If you have a tape manager such as rmm or CA-1, from ISPF you can normally issue the TI line command; both rmm and CA-1 support that. You can easily get data set details without mounting the tape. In addition, ISPF supports line commands for tape - but they have to be enabled via the configuration table and someone has to provide the code to support them. See http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r11/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r11.idarc00/enabsup.htm.
Once enabled, for rmm case, just use the line commands as if its a dasd data set and equivalent/relevant info is displayed. e.g. 'S' displays tape data set details Mike Wood ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
