Hi Doug,
You said: "... Clearly this is going to ..."
If the user is PErmitted to use BLP (via the ESM and JES2 JOBCLASS) not so "clear".

Regards,
David

Yes. Just use a VOL=SER reference for the tape, and refer to the file by DSN. My guess is most of us has hit this issue, and it really is not that difficult. I've done it many times.

Subject Reading a scratch tape

Hi,
We've been asked to attempt to read a file from a scratched tape.

We use Control-M/Tape as our tape management system.
The tapes are virtual 3490's stored on a TS7770.
The tape has many files, but we only need once specific one.
If it matters, the file is the output of DB/2 backup.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Gadi
