- PROCEDURE FOR DUPLICATING A TMS
- TAPE OR CARTRIDGE ON THE MVS/XA OPERATING SYSTEM
- (TMSDUP)
-
-
- NOTE: tape/cart - is used to designate
- that a tape or cartridge
- may be used.
-
-
- STEP1: Operations should run an OPRTINFO on the Tape Management
- System (TMS) tape/cart. This output will be used to find the
- name of the first file on the tape/cart.
-
- STEP2: The User should bring a private blank tape/cart to the
- Input/Output Window and have Operations initialize the
- tape/cart to an IBM standard labeled tape/cart.
-
- STEP3: The User should logon under his/her own Userid and execute the
- TMSDUP procedure. This procedure will make an exact copy of
- any TMS tape or cartridge to another TMS tape or cartridge.
- The procedure will prompt for three pieces of information. The
- first piece of information will be the name of the TMS tape/cart
- designated as a six digit number. The next prompt request the
- Data Set Name (DSN) of the first file found on the TMS
- tape/cart. When the you are prompted for the name of the output
- tape/cart, never use a six digit number. The six digit numbered
- tapes/carts are used for internal control purposes by
- Operations. You may use letters mixed with numbers in
- constructing the name of your output tape/cart never use all
- numbers. The new tape/cart name will be embedded in the header
- label of the new tape/cart. The TMSDUP procedure may be invoked
- from any command line. The following session is a facsimile
- of the information that will be required to duplicate
- a TMS tape:
