RE: Unattended SAVE with INZTAP

["Allen, Stu" <sallen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have a set of tapes that you rotate to do your saves, you can get
round having to initialise the tapes each time.  I have my saves in a CL
which picks up the current date from the system value, and uses this for the
"expiry date" on the save command (otherwise this defaults to *PERM).  This
means that the next time the tape is used, you don't get the CPA4278 because
the expiry date has passed.

Regards,
Stuart
