Hi Madlui,
first try to convert in DASD file and after that u can easily browse/edit.
please see the bellow job.

STEP010 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=TAPE FILE,
// DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=NEW DASD FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// DCB=*.SYSUT1,
// SPACE=(CYL,(100,100),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY

plz correct me if i went wrong.

I very recently posted a fairly detailed response as why it is bad practice to use DCB=*.SYSUT1 when copying from tape to DASD.

Why not take a look at that and see why.
