Re: Sharing tapes between S/36 and AS/400?

[ken shields <kjs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

1. On the 36 side,,FROMLIBR...specify file name allow at lot of blocks
2. FTP the file to one of the 400 boxes, call the receiver LIB36
3. Go ahead and backup to tape.
If you ever have to restore a 36 library. reverse the process, build
an empty library the same size as the one you saved, and TOLIBR that file
on the 36 side.
Suggest you test it with only one library first, and then you can proceduralize
it..

I've run into problems with identical tape devices, not able to read one anothers tapes..as strange as that sounds.
As an alternative , why not try transferring a library file accross to whatever machine you want, loading the resultant object into an empty library for taping..

I have a _real_ S/36, and 2 AS/400s (9402-C04, and a 170).  All have a 1/4" tape drive. I need to save a library from the S/36 and restore it to either of the 400's (I'd prefer the 170, but the old 9402 will do in a pinch).  Any ideas on tape density, etc?
