I have been trying to use the CKDSVRST program from the IBM Downloads
webpage to write images of non-CMS minidisks to a tape and then restore
them. This program writes two files to the tape for each input minidisk.
The first file is a control record that provides some information about
what is

I suppose the PIPEDDR adds some additional checks to protect your own

I would like IBM to include the source of all the programs on the download page. That way if the
author leaves (or is busy) someone else who uses the program can still fix problems.

Actually, it isn't necessarily IBM's call for a lot of the packages listed
there. Many of these packages were written by customers using zVM, and they
have the right to decide how to distribute their intellectual property.
Generally, the submitter of the package is listed along with each package,
But PIPEDDR is SO MUCH easier to code into a larger process that can deal
with less than a full volume.

Regarding PIPEDDR using tapes - I never considered it because native
DDR supports tapes, and
I use this program for some specialized backup/recovery processes. Does
anyone know if there is a more current copy available? The Downloads
website has a copy from 1996-08-26 (file dates inside vmarc are 1993-06-

But it is still worth looking at as a replacement.
It would help if IBM released the source code to these programs when thei

internal support retires. Or remove them from the public
