RE: Tape Exchange between AS/400 and NCR

["Popeil, Russ" <Russ.Popeil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a thought 
the tapes created on the NCR must be created as IBM standard label tapes and
the data copied to the tape using record length and blocking. 
The tape is then read in the 400 using the CPYFRMTAP command
