Thanks for the assistance. And fortunately the " / ml2" parms are perpetuated to "=" line commands on subsequent lines. (E. g., in Steve's illustration, entering an equal sign on the line for "SCOMSTO.TR.UTF16" would auto-add the " / ml2" for it, too.) And all of these will be processed in sequence, and can be served by the same tape mount.
And the datasets are HBacked-up, so I'm okay there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
