- We have been asked to decommission our IBM VM/CMS mainframe. The committee
- that is working on this project has asked me to find out what other sites
- do with IBM mainframe tapes for UNIX systems. I know that 'dd' will read
- the tapes, but many of our users have SAS tapes that were created on CMS.
- I would like to find some clues to the following questions:
-
- What do you do when you get tapes from IBM sites?
- What utilities do you use to convert tapes?
- How do you handle SAS tapes created on CMS?
- How do you handle multi-tape data sets?
-
- I will post a summary of the clues that I receive.
-
- Thanks in advance,
