RE: tape

As others pointed out.  You could either CPYTOTAP/CPYFRMTAP or your could
open it directly from RPG using OVRTAPF.  Since disk isn't quite the issue
anymore I think I'd go with the former.

I did it years ago exchanging tapes with SuperValu.  The details I
remember
were having to use CPYTOTAP and CPYFRMTAP instead of SAVxxx and RSTxxx.
