Hello,
Suggest you make a copy.
Then use the original or the copy to do whatever you need to do.
Someone will probably need to determine if this should be re-cataloged (possibly not as it has already cycled out, or just what should become of the salvaged data) or there is a one-tme need, etc . . .
From the dialog so far, i believe this is a single-volume file as well as a single-file volume. If not, there are other considerations. . . |

Dick,
Storage Management People gave me a information like the required generation(G0688V00) of the tape file is on 2 tapes and they have given 2 volume serial numbers.
Also they told that I need to code the volsers in the restore job as they are no longer part of the GDG base.
Please guide to proceed further... |

Alexis,
see my previous post. you need the RECFM, BLKSIZE, LRECL from some JCL or program that create the generations that exist. |

Hello,
The first thing i would do is to set up some jcl to make a copy (i would make the copy using my sort product) - the input would specify both volume serial numbers as the file is no longer cataloged. I'd use some other dataset name for the copy - not the original gdg name. The copy dsn would be cataloged so it can be directly referenced without having to specify volsers to use the data.
Once you have a new dataset name that is cataloged, run whatever processes that need this data using the newly made copy. |

And if you're using Syncsort or DFSort (and there may be others that do this) you don't have to specify the DCB info for the O/P file; the Sort product will use the I/P DCB info to create your O/P tape(s).
However, since your I/P file is no longer cataloged, you may have to provide its DCB info (not sure if Sort will use the LABLE info). |

Hi,
i'm pretty sure that SORT will obtain it's DCB from the LABEL information.
The DCB information is not contained in the catalog entry.

Hi All,
I have used the below JCL to create a new tape file thru the given volume serial numbers and it has been created.
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=TAPE FILE.G0688V00,DISP=SHR,
// UNIT=CART,VOL=SER=(557959,577170)
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=NEW TAPE FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=CART,
// SPACE=(CYL,(200,200),RLSE),
// DCB=(BLKSIZE=32760,LRECL=32760)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY |
If the above process is correct then i can go ahead to copy the newly created tape file into a DASD file.
Please guide me if i am wrong!!! |

Alex,
If you have a new tape, go ahead and create your disk copy.
The LRECL and BLKSIZE of 32760 on the output file seem odd. Are these correct? If you omit them, IEBGENER will mimic the input file attributes. |

I have omitted that dd statement as below.
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=TAPE FILE.G0688V00,DISP=SHR,
// UNIT=CART,VOL=SER=(557959,577170)
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=NEW TAPE FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=CART,
// SPACE=(CYL,(200,200),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY |
are these correct now???
If so, please help me to copy this to DASD. |

//SORTOUT DD DSN=DASD FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG),
// DCB=(BLKSIZE=0,LRECL=32760,RECFM=FB),

Do you know which program / utility created the original take, from which it seems that you have since produced a copy of by using IEBGENER.
Does the ouput from the IEBGENER copy show any details of the DCB attributes.
Did you dump the label as I had suggested earlier using IEBGENER |

It was created by the program 'ARCMAIN' but I am not aware what it is?

No...It didnt show the DCB attributes.

I have tried but getting authorization problem, stating that tape can not be accessed!!!
Please guide me what do i have to do next in order to make a copy into DASD? |

| From a quick google - it appears that ARCMAIN is some sort of a Teradata utility, so not using that product here, there's not a lot of manual reading that I can do for you. |

Hello,
What did printing the tape header show?
What about using ARCMAIN to copy the file to dasd? |
