Re: SAVxxx SEQNBR(11) bombs if #11 already on tape???

On reel to reel tapes (like the old 9347, 2440, 9348 on AS/400) you can
specify ANY SEQNBR with CLEAR(*ALL).  If you had written a new file to
SEQNBR 7 on an historical backup tape for example (maybe you add a file
each week) then discover the previous weeks file was wrong, you could,
assuming you still had the data, write SEQNBR(6) CLEAR(*ALL) and replace
the file from 2 weeks ago, then write the SEQNBR 7 file again.

SEQNBR(1) and SEQNBR(*end) are the only viable sequence numbers.  You can
use
2,3,4 etc. as long as those SEQNBRs are NOT on the tape.  It has been like
this since the 1401/360 days
