I want to copy a file over a existing file on a tape. How can I achieve this? Currently I have being adding the file to the tape by placing it in a different file sequence. In essence, I have the file saved multiple times on the tape, the larger the file sequence the newer the file. Can I display all files on a tape without specifing the file sequence? I used the display tape command and only the files on the first sequence would be displayed unless I specified a sequence.

IIRC, just specify the sequence number which you intend to overwrite from; losing all old data since and beyond that sequence number. The DSPTAP to display will display each sequence since and beyond the one you request on the command; remaining sequence numbers will be displayed only after pressing Enter -- to get to the next. DSPTAP OUTPUT(*PRINT) is best if you want to see all of the labels. Regards, Chuck Comments provided "as is" with no warranties of any kind whatsoever.
