You're out of luck with DDR. From DDR's online help: 3. Copying data from one device to another of the same type. Data may be reordered by cylinder or block when copying it from disk to disk. In order for one tape to be copied to another, the original tape must have been created by either the DDR command or the DDRXA stand-alone utility DUMP function. But, using a series of MOVEFILE, or PIPE TAPE ! TAPE TAP2 commands you can copy the tape, but yoy will have to know how many iterations to do. DITTO TT is bit easier in that respect.
