Haven't kept up with your thread, but you said the tapes were created by
VM's DDR so I'm assuming you can run this exec on your VM system;
it will copy 1 input tape to 1 output tape, input tape can have
multiple tape files on it; and you said 3 3480's copied to 3 3590's was
acceptable, so run it 3 times
.
T2T EXEC (I don't remember who to credit with this, sorry)
/* tape-to-tape copy using CMS PIPE TAPE */
/* INPUT TAPE is 181 and OUTPUT TAPE is 182 */
'tape rew' /*rewind input tape */
'tape rew (tap2' /*rewind output tape */
do until recs.1 = 0
'pipe tape | tape tap2 wtm | count lines | stem recs.'
say 'RECS.1 is ' recs.1
end
'tape wtm 2 (tap2'
exit

Subject: Re: COPY a DRR VM created tape
I have tried GENER & DITTO to copy this data but have failed.
I have is three 3480 tapes backing up 1 user volume with Z/VM DDR.
I want to copy these 3480 tapes to either one or three 3590 with Z/OS.
I want to be able to restore that volume with z/VM DDR with the 3590
tapes.
Anyone else have any ideas?
In both cases(DITTO & GENER), the failure was when i used DDR to
restore.
The Z/OS JOB recieved a 00 return code.
