I just tested backup from both SMS compact dataset and non-sms normal PS 
dataset to tape.
The data are same, the normal PS dataset was created by ICEGENER.
I got speed of about 39.24MB/s from normal PS dataset to tape, but 21MB/s from 
compact dataset.
By using DAF, I got :
21      VOL=AB0539      CA=6110 DEVTYPE=3490    SIO=156 BR=1 BW=898352

The backup program was ADRDSSU, but it seems no block size was reported by 
ADRDSSU.
The OS is z/OS 1.13.

Why can't I have tape block size reported? The only source I can find tape 
block size is in IBM RMM.
Both jobs are using 256KB tape block.

Victor
