Not sure how they did that so I'll need to check. Daniel McLaughlin Z-Series Systems Programmer Information & Communications Technology Crawford & Company 4680 N.

Re: ACS and External Drives
Actually, that does make a little more sense. You say that at the 25th file, a change was put in to have subsequent files go to another tape volume. But how is that done? Do you then call for a specific volser (which is NOT inside the robot)? How do you "force" the 25th file to stop stacking and go to another volume. That is where the problem seems to be.

Re: ACS and External Drives
Dan: If it TRULY ends at 25 files, that MAY be strange because that may be only a fraction of the media. But many moons ago I wrote a stacking program to real tape and didn't want a dataset to span volumes so when I detected EOT(it was written with a channel program), I backed up to the end of the previous file and dropped in another TM and closed it out and called for a new volume. Worked great for many years. Perhaps your code is doing the same thing.

Re: ACS and External Drives
OK, it seems that the weirdness happens on one of the jobs when the stacked file count hits 25. At the 25th file a change was put in to have subsequent files go to another tape volulme.
