File Manager incorporates Ditto but includes MUCH, MUCH more functionality.

I believe it's called File Manager nowadays, and it is a priced product.
We demo'd Version 1.0 "way back when", and at the time i
I'm pretty sure Ditto is only shipped with z/OS if you pay for it.

Can the tape be read with DITTO ? IIRC, ditto is now shipped with z/OS.

My experience with those old IBM drives was the rubber hoses tended to get

It sounds like you may have had DEN= coded in your JCL when you ran the
tapemap, and that is why you got the "800 BPI" error message. Try running
tapemap without DEN=, you should need to specify density for an input tape, in
any case.
If the tape drive was unable to read the tape, you wouldn'

The low end 3420 could definitely reads 800 BPI.
