Re: Deleting individual objects from a tape

Hi, Phil:

As I recall, QUSRTOOLS TAATOOLs had a CPYFRMTAP and CPYTOTAP that let you do
this with only one tape drive ... but it only works on a file-by-file basis
... during a SAVLIB, for example, each library is saved as a separate file
on the tape, so they can be restored individually... you can skip over
individual files and thus skip over certain libraries, but to get down to
the object level, you would have to restore the entire library, then delete
the objects you don't want, then save it again, or some similar gyrations
...

HTH,

Mark S. Waterbury
