Thanks for your reply. The Intresting part is the same code ran fine before we converted into I5/95 v5r3.
I imagine that someone had changed the QTAPE object to specify a device, and that change was lost when the upgrade happened. This is one reason why making changes to IBM-supplied objects is not a good practice. One another thing puzzles me is if a message prompts asking for the the
tape device to be mentioned and if operators reply with a device name, it defaults to '*N'. I am confused as it should take the repply as TAPE01, TAPE02 or whatever to TODEV. Can someone pls clarify why the system defaults to '*N"?.
I don't totally follow the question, so my reply may be totally off. The command you specify doesn't throw a message and get a reply. If there are commands earlier in the program that prompt for the tape device, there is a logic problem in that code, which may have been masked by the QTAPE device hard-code. I also don't see *N as a promptable option on my V5R3 system. TODEV(*N) is simply ignored.
