Why is that?  You can still write to the tape beginning where it stopped 
writing.  You can still restore any object from the tape.  And in our case the 
tape will be initialized next week so we can do another save to it.

Thanks,

Bryan

Also, notice that, even if you specify "Unload device at vary off  . . . 
*NO" ,  the tape will be rewound so the *LEAVE after the 1st SAVLIB is 
worthless . . .
