Re: SAVDIR not recognizing tape drive

[Jeffrey Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

John,
You could also create a Symbolic Link to associate the path to your tape dirve 
as TAP03 using the following command :
ADDLNK OBJ('\qsys.lib\tap03.devd') NEWLNK(tap03)
 
This is a one time setup, and then you can use TAP03 as the device name on all 
SAV commands.
