PROCEDURE FOR DUPLICATING A TMS
TAPE OR CARTRIDGE ON THE MVS/XA OPERATING SYSTEM
(TMSDUP)
NOTE: tape/cart - is used to designate
that a tape or cartridge
may be used.
STEP1: Operations should run an OPRTINFO on the Tape Management
System (TMS) tape/cart. This output will be used to find the
name of the first file on the tape/cart.
STEP2: The User should bring a private blank tape/cart to the
Input/Output Window and have Operations initialize the
tape/cart to an IBM standard labeled tape/cart.
STEP3: The User should logon under his/her own Userid and execute the
TMSDUP procedure. This procedure will make an exact copy of
any TMS tape or cartridge to another TMS tape or cartridge.
The procedure will prompt for three pieces of information. The
first piece of information will be the name of the TMS tape/cart
designated as a six digit number. The next prompt request the
Data Set Name (DSN) of the first file found on the TMS
tape/cart. When the you are prompted for the name of the output
tape/cart, never use a six digit number. The six digit numbered
tapes/carts are used for internal control purposes by
Operations. You may use letters mixed with numbers in
constructing the name of your output tape/cart never use all
numbers. The new tape/cart name will be embedded in the header
label of the new tape/cart. The TMSDUP procedure may be invoked
from any command line. The following session is a facsimile
of the information that will be required to duplicate
a TMS tape:

in approximately 1 hour from the time you duplicated your
