Re: Using RSTSTG with larger disks

Hi Pat

appreciate the comments and feedback.

Now we've actually done this we found there were surprisingly few 
steps to doing the SAVSTG/RSTSTG operation. After you IPL and select 
the option to RSTSTG it all "just happens".

I've done a lot of unloads/reloads and this does seem a simpler 
procedure in very specific circumstances.
