RE: Transfer of Data from AS/400 to AS/400

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm.. strange message.  If I'm reading this right, the message
it saying that it can not use *FMT20GB, so it used *FMT20GB
instead.  It may actually be set for *FMT20GB.

I think I used to get this message too, which is why I just
formatted the tapes in the 5GB machine which the 7GB could use
fine.

Regards,

Jim Langston

Dear Jim,

I tried your option of INZTAP and following was the message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------

 Contents of volume on device TAP02 set to density *FMT20GB

Cause . . . . . :   The requested density cannot be processed by device
TAP02
  The tape contents were set to density *FMT20GB, which is a different
densit
  than you specified.
Recovery  . . . :   If the volume was not initialized to an acceptable
  density, then try the request again to a device that can process the
  required density.
Technical description . . . . . . . . :   If DENSITY(*CTGTYPE) was
specified,
  then the device may not support cartridge checking capabilities. If this
is
  the case, then DENSITY(*DEVTYPE) will be used.
