RE: SAVDIR not recognizing tape drive

["Haase, Justin C." <justin.haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For IFS save commands, the drive needs also needs to be identified in
IFS-style.  So your TAP03 would equate to:

/qsys.lib/tap03.devd 

Sample command:
SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/tap03.devd') OBJ(('/mydir/*'))

Subject: SAVDIR not recognizing tape drive

I am trying to do a directory save to a tape drive that we use every
night (TAP03) and I am receiving this message..Any suggestions?

Message . . . . :   Specified value on DEV parameter not valid.

Cause . . . . . :   A value specified on the device (DEV) parameter must
be a 
  tape, diskette, save file, media library, or optical volume.

Recovery  . . . :   Change the value on the DEV parameter and try the
request 
  again.
