Uh, Blocksize of ZERO?  I don't have any of the old tapes in front of me
to play with here....and I don't bring any tape DEBE's with me to clients,
but Blocksize of ZERO?  You sure of that?

What happened to the backup for the source to the proc?

Suggest a DMPTAP DEV(TAP99) TYPE(*ALL) DTABLK(1 10) and see if you can
find what you're looking for there...
