RE: AS/400 to IBM Mainframe Tape

["Fisher, Don" <DRF@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I could be wrong, but I believe you must use CPYTOTAP whenever you create a
tape for a non-AS/400 system.  There should be options for block size and
labels.

Good luck.

I have a requirement to send a file to an unknown IBM mainframe on tape.

The requirements are as follows:
36 or 18 track cartridge (3480, 3490 or 3490e) or 9 track tape reel (6250
bpi)
Character code: EBCDIC

I sent them a normal SAVOBJ on a 3480 cartridge, but they say they can't
read
it.  They gave me some gibberish about block sizes and end of record
markers.  I
would really appreciate any help on this one.
