Re: SAVDIR not recognizing tape drive

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Exactly what are you keying in? SAVDIR is not an AS/400 command. At least
not a core command at V5R2. If it's a version of the SAV command, your DEV
parameter will have to be in IFS format. Something like
'Qsys.lib/Qgpl.lib/Tap03.devd'.

Thanks,

Mark

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.
