Re: Tapecopy of two (2) z/OS 1.7 install tapes???
Best way to find out the documentation in DITTO is to: //DITTOXXX EXEC PGM=DITTO,PARM='JOBSTREAM' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * $$DITTO XXX $$DITTO EOJ /* If you don't have the PARM I believe it will require the parameters from the console. In that case you can say: XXX and then EOJ.

If so, I can give you an example using DITTO (assuming you want to use DITTO). Gary Garland Gregory, MS CA Senior Software Engineer YES. Someone gave me a sample set of JCL, and I've been experimenting, but if you have some DITTO (IBM File Manager) JCL, that would be great. DITTO is actually IBM File Manager on z/OS under wraps, right?
