Victor, IEC205I gets the TOTALBLOCKS from system control blocks. It should match what rmm records (gets it from same place...... Actually it depends on access method and whether that method maintains the block count fields. EXCP does not and the application must maintain it.
The block count is application block count sent to the device..... what is on the tape depends on the tape device Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
