Mark, Tape Manager requires either: 1. The REXX runtime library - a separately priced product that will run
compiled code (and thus give you the performance benefit of running compiled, rather than interpreted, code.) 2. The alternate REXX library - a free download that will run "compiled" code as interpreted. The download is available at: http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/rexx/rexxzseries/altlibrary.html Tape Manager can run with either one because when the developer compiles the code, he does it with a special option that also includes both a compiled and interpretable form in the object code. So from the same object code, the REXX runtime library uses the compiled form and the alternate library uses the interpretable form. This interpretable form is readable by the alternate library, but not by the REXX interpreter that's included with z/VM. So if your site doesn't have the full REXX runtime library, go get the free download of the alternate library. Tracy Dean, IBM
