This is huge! Thanks Jiri! If we were all on FBA, then copying disks would be as trivial as copying files because the "disk" would be must a big block-o-bytes. But since z/VM is still saddled with ye olde CKD tricks because of the indirect influence of z/OS, this new ability to *convert* a disk (

And it does have that very important prereq - you must have V/Seg. Another option is VSSI's VTAPE. It is possible to use a VTAPE as the device for SPXTAPE . However, before you try it, make sure you have a current build of VTAPE. Regards, Richard Schuh ___
