If that was intended to be advice to people on this list that this problem

Otherwise, if you want a real answer raise a Service Request with IBM since it

We are using a VTS with the virtual tapes defined as 3490s, and we are using

It does, however, mean that there are a lot of 'tapes' and many of those may
have a mixture of valid and no-longer-valid data sets - a call for Recycle.

I am trying to migrate some TCPIP GATEWAY statements to BEGINROUTES as required
by z/OS 2.2.
The method I have been recommended to use is to get a system dump of the TCP
address space, then use IPCS to format the data using the TCPIPCS command which
will format the routes in BEGINROUTES format.
I preface this by saying that I am not a networking expert, but maybe someone
has seen a similar effect.
