Re: override tape file in CL

If tape is initialized with INZTAP command, then labels were written and it
is of type *SL, and you cannot specify REELS(*NL).
You may process it as *BLP, though.

Also, if tape was initialized with INZTAP, then you do not need to specify
density - whatever density was specified at INZTAP time will be used. If
you want to change density, you have to INZTAP again with different
density.

Subject:  override tape file in CL




We are trying to copy a file to to an 8mm tape.
In a CL program we initialize the tape to *FMT2GB.
The device type default is 7gig.
Then we do an override of the qtape file as follows:
      OVRTAPF FILE(QTAPE) REELS(*NL) DENSITY(*FMT2GB)
Then we run the CPYTOTAP command.
The command errors out because of bad density type.  The override is not
working.  Any suggestions.  We are on a version 4 release 2.
We have done something similar in an OCL36 procedure and it works there.

TIA
Ron
