Re: 3592 Cartridges
you could use the RETAIN subparameter on the VOL=. But that is just a suggestion to the system. It will dismount the tape if another job needs the drive. If you're really wild, you could trap the IEC705I message from the job in your automated operations package. Parse out the device number and volser, then do a MOUNT command. But I don't know of any way to automatically issue the UNLOAD command at the end of the series of jobs. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

Re: HSM filing up 3592 cartridges
I don't remember if this was answered or not, but is there really a 99 volume limit in DFHSM? I would think that would be something fairly easy for the HSM people to change, atlhough I may be wrong about that. This whole thread reminds me of one of my first big projects as a sysprog when I worked for Milwaukee County. I wrote a system like HSM for backing up the changed and new datasets on our TSO packs. Everything back then was backed up to tape (good old 3420 round reels - state of the art at the time). I wrote everything out to tape using IEBGENER for one set of tapes, and IEBCOPY for another set of tapes. I think back then, the LABEL= parameter had a limit of 99, so we put a maximum of 99 files on each tape. Ah for the good old days when I wrote a lot of assembler!
