Re: System Migration/No Tape Drive Compatibility

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jack,

I have posted a simple CL program (a lot missing in the error-checking area)
at:

http://code.midrange.com/89778d8195.html

We used something like it some years ago when going from a 720(V4R5) to a
520(V5R3). Sadly, I think that the original code was lost with the old
system...

HTH,
