  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/*'))

  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.
