Really important. You could measure the size of the IBGs and the space before tape marks in half inch and inch increments. And you could use tape developer to see the actual bits on the tape. Regards, Richard Schuh From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailt

I don't believe I ever worked with 200 bpi tapes, but I did work were we had 8 tape drives 6 were 800 bpi and 2 were 1600 bpi with the optional high speed rewind. I guess maybe byte counts were more important back then.. On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 10:45 PM, Schuh, Richard wrote: > Round tape reels

Round tape reels! Now, that is old. Since I remember them too, we are both showing our age. Do you remember when the 200 bpi density? Regards, Richard Schuh From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Tom Huegel Sent: W

Slight brain fart, I didn't even think of hardware compression duh! I guess the only real way to to do it is just experimentation. I still seem to remember a program from long ago, and it may have been a VSE program, that would tell you how many bytes would go to the tape, in fact I think it told y

If you are doing software compression, then, perhaps use the Pipe DDR stage and route it to the "count" stage. But knowing how much compression the hardware will donot obvious to me. However, once you do have a compressed tape, DITTO TMP will tell you how much tape the compressed dataset too
