The answer is NO
You need to download the file, or part thereof, to DASD |

Quick and dirty reply, sorry.
Try this,
| Code: |
EXEC PGM=SORT
SORTIN tape dataset
SORTOUT dataset in DASD, (as new)
SYSIN SORT FIELDS=COPY |
And view or browse SORTOUT dataset.
Do correct me if I am wrong. |

| You cannot browse a tape file. You need to resore the file to your workfile and then you can browse it. |

Yes you need to recall the file. in each shop they will use some line command to get easily,we will use HR for recalling . Other wise using IEBGENAR restore to one file.
I was not paying attention - the question has nothing to do with recalling datasets. . .

please please,
when answering questions, try to understand the skill of the O/P ( original poster )
and try to answer in an adequate ( to the O/P skill ) manner
without introducing unneeded complexity
the O/P was asking about plain old tape datasets
not dasd migrated datasets |

No, directly you can't brows the tape file.
In option 6 use the command HRECOVER 'DATASET NAME'.
This will recall your dataset.

TAPE files are different than DASDs. You can not just browse them. You need to get that file to DASD, as suggested earlier. In my shop we use MULTIGEN for this, but this (MULTIGEN) is not in use across shops so I would not post the code using MULTIGEN.
FILE-AID can be used for the same purpose.
And when You do this just try to get the LRECL using SYNCTOOL/ICETOOL of TAPE file so that You don't waste a lot of DASD space by coding DCB=*.SYSUT1 etc. where SYSUT1 is DD name for Your tape file. |
