The TAPPDS and TAPEMAC programs only read IEBPTPCH, IEBUPDTE and IEHMOVE data files. The IEBCOPY program that I have is from a VM/SP 2 version of the Waterloo
Mods tape. It is M0091. It is also included in File 05 of the CBTTape whi ch is a REXX program (with assembler helper programs) to load the CBTTape to CMS files. The OSPDS REXX and the XMITINFO EXEC (from PlanetMVS) are the most useful as examples of decoding the IEBCOPY directory and data. I noticed that PIPEL INE has an IEBCOPY built-in stage to decode the directory and data. I wonder if the old DECODE operand to it was removed because people hoped there would be an ENCODE operand someday? /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Thu, 7 Aug 2008 14:27:35 EDT, A.
