File QTAPE may have been previously changed to specify the tape drive. The file would have been replaced by the new release, causing the error.

Thanks for your reply. The Intresting part is the same code ran fine before we converted into I5/95 v5r3. One another thing puzzles me is if a message prompts asking for the the tape device to be mentioned and if operators reply with a device name, it defaults to '*N'.
  I am confused as it should take the repply as TAPE01, TAPE02 or whatever to TODEV. 
Can someone pls clarify why the system defaults to '*N"?.

  You are trying to copy a file to a tape device, but are not specifying a
tape device. A specific tape device needs to be identified ...

1. on the CPYTOTAP command itself
*OR*
2. through an OVRTAPF prior to the CPYTOTAP
*OR*
3. by changing the QTAPE device file to have a specific tape drive assigned

HTH, although I am not optimistic.
