IEHINITT generates standard labels. The usual method of converting from SL to NL is to place a tape mark at the beginning of the tape, frequently with IEBGENER specifying DD DUMMY for SYSUT1 and LABEL=(1,NL) for SYSUT2.
Whether this will work may depend on the settings in your tape management system. CA-1 (and probably others) has options controlling who can create or read NL tapes for both managed tapes under control and external tapes not under control :>: -----Original Message----- :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On :>: Behalf Of Tim Brown :>: Sent: Monday, November 05, 2012 11:40 AM :>: To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU :>: Subject: change SL tape to NL :>: :>: Can utility IEHINITT be used to change a 3590 SL tape to NL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
