Gil/John,
Dave Betten already answered the question below.

Has anyone ever run into a problem where they have full volume backups that
produce a ADR370E message when trying to restore? That message says the label

I want to assume the tapes used to restore the volume are cataloged and you are

During a RESTORE, the sequence number of the record read, 2 (in

Your JCL said vol=ser=TAP001, but your catalog entry says the serial number is

Not easily...but I would be surprised if it is different for different programs
