I was using the RST command to restore a set of directories from within a CL program. I thought I'd get cute and do the following: SNDPGMMSG 'now restoring this directory' RST 'this directory' SNDPGMMSG 'now restoring that directory' RST 'that directory' But they were saved with the SAV '/*' omitting QSYS.LIB and QDLS. Apparently when you save them that way you'd better restore the selected directories with one, and only one RST command - unless you rewind your tape. The second restore failed until I rewound the tape. I think what happens is different levels of the directories are stored in different areas of the tape. For example if you save two directories, and they have multiple sub directories I suspect the layout looks like: /NOTES01 /QUALITY /NOTES01/NOTES /QUALITY/NOTES /NOTES01/NOTES/DATA /QUALITY/NOTES/DATA ... And waiting for it to read through a 3580 tape and then rewinding it and trying it again at 3 hours a tape - oh, and two tapes were filled - is not a fun way to spend your weekend. Dang, I was amazed at how many of us spend their Saturday nights on this list.
