Very nice narative Hal! Thanks for sharing.
A couple of years ago about the same thing happened to us. I was in my
cubicle working away (or more probably reading IBM-MAIN) when we took a
power hit. No big deal, it was just a flash. Lights blinked, my PC
rebooted. Happens once in a while.
When using BLP, there's really no such thing as a multi-volume tape data
set - especially if the tape actually contains standard labels.
You MIGHT be able to concatenate volume 1 and volume 2. Perhaps something
like this:
//DUMPIN DD DSN=DOES.NOT.MATTER,DISP=OLD,LABEL=(2,BLP),UNIT=3490,
//
I suppose letting the new space be described by a new entry in the extent
list would resolve the situation I described, but might not other issues
surface when the number of entries exceeds 15 (a different condition that
could cause the program to choke)? Probably less likely to really create

I'm glad you've managed to get it working.
Unfortunately, you haven't said enough about what you have done to get it
working.

may be tidied away as members. The data set name is very commonly given in

I think this requires that the APPC Application Suite program has been
