Re: duptap to combine tapes

Rob,

    You're on the right track and with LTO to LTO the blocking won't be 
a problem. Yes the *END will just add the LTO3s to the end.

    I've never worried about the TODENSITY parm as I think it defaults 
to the device type and that works fine, however *CTGTYPE should work as 
well.
