It's been years but I got involved in Notis(library) imports that were Ascii 8trks. The first cut was OTPCD=Q, but it was a 'strict ASCII' that didn't convert diacriticals. Think they ended up using SAS but it's been a very long time. In a message dated 1/14/2016 11:29:26 P.M. Central Standard Time, hal9...@panix.com writes:
used ONLY on 7-track tapes. This might be that the non-IBM machines writing ASCII only wrote 7-Track Tapes and did not support 8-Track tapes. This was years ago when I needed to support it and things probably have changed since then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
