problems with multi volume, restore using FDR

Recently we were at a DR test. And all the restores were running very well. Until we ran into a tape that was multi-volume. Whenever we tried to go to the second tape the restore would abend with a user 833. 15.48.10 JOB04956 IOS000I F911,A5,IOE,3F,0E00,,**,021413,TSUAW6OE 098 We

Thanks for your help I'll see if I can find any more information on this on Monday. It was very obvious that this was the first time this had ever gone multivolume. The tapes are created SL tapes so my thinking was that once the TMC was up and running on this system I could restore them as

You could have simply specified the actual LABEL=(n,SL), VOL=(11,22) (and EXPDT=98000 to skip TMS processing) in your restore JCL. It is always easier to read standard label tapes using standard label processing. TMS is not necessary to do this. It does not matter what TMS shows in
