Re: Restoring a single IFS Folder from Tape(s)

["Roger Harman" <RHarman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My first thought is to specify the sequence number.  By default it is
*SEARCH.  Not sure if that will stop the tape when it finds & restores
that sequence or not.  Worth a try though.

I have 4 tapes, created with the SAV command, that contain a series of
IFS
Directories (one per month), each containing hundreds/thousands of Image
documents.  I would like to restore only the first directory that is at
the
beginning of the first tape (MTH9901).  But when I run the RST command,
it
successfully restores the directory, restores all its documents, but
then
continues reading through the tape.  Worse still, when it reads to the
end
of the first tape, it asks for the next tape.  Ughhh ...

These directories are stored on the 4 tapes in order - I spent 3 days of
computer time displaying all 4 tapes to print so I'd know what I have. 
How
can I make the RST command stop at the end of the first directory? 
(FYI,
current RST command shown below)

RST        DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP02.DEVD') +      
             OBJ(('/LANDRIVE/MTH9901/*' *INCLUDE *SAME)) + 
             CRTPRNDIR(*YES) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL)
