RE: Back ups with Magstar 3570

Greg, I thought it over - you have a better solution, I changed the reply
list also.

I LOVE this thread.  I never even considered that - we just kept doing it
that way.....

Thanks Greg. I had considered this but thought that it might be dangerous
in
that some programmer might not realize the reply list entry exists and
expect a message and not get one.  But I have reconsidered and I think I
will use it because it is just what I need.

Bryan,

I let the computer do the work.

The INZTAP is at the beginning of my CLP for the backup.   When the second
tape is needed and the CPA 4278 message is issued, it is answered
automatically by an OS400's reply list entry.     See WRKRPYLE.

Subject: Back ups with Magstar 3570

Anybody out there doing back ups to a Magstar 3570 with two tapes?  If so,
how do you initialize the second tape?  Although I have specified MAPICS to
initialize all tapes in CAS screen  AXZU93,  MAPICS only initializes the
first tape.

I must manually initialize the second tape and if I forget (like I did very
recently), the back up is going to hang with a CPA4278 message (active file
found on this volume) until someone answers the message, which could be
many
hours.  Anyone have a solution to this?
