RE: Question on Tape Density, etc...

[Neil Palmer <NeilP@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On SAVxxx commands use
 Data compression . . . . . . . . DTACPR         *DEV
 Data compaction  . . . . . . . . COMPACT        *DEV
to get best combination of compression/compaction for a specific 
device.
Again, only real reason to change is if you need to create a tape for 
backward compatibility to another drive.

Pat !

Thank you SO much for the GREAT info - where did you get this from ?

I'm new to this AS/400 site so I'm new to this tape unit (coming from a 
3590,
3490 shop...) and am REALLY wondering about it...

Are you actually using one ?

Did the letter have a date ?

I'm wondering about the IDRC feature - does this imply that it is PART 
of the
drive/AS/400 or something you can get and why wouldn't it be "active" 
 ?  :-)

Thanks !

Chuck
