-----------
Symptoms
--------
DBUNLOAD to tape loops after dbname has been provided.
Cause
-----
Because of "unload to disk" enhancement, one new variable used by
"unload to disk" is not initialized for "unload to tape".  That
uninitialized variable cause the loop.

Fix
---
Fixed in DBUNLOAD program version C.10.06.

******************************************************************

That is in a Beta Patch, TIXMXG2(A) for C.75.00.
Seems you need to talk to your HP Response Centre.

Not sure if this matches your problem, but it matches the
C.10.00 version and you are using DEV=TAPE.  I did not know
we enhanced DBUNLOAD to be able to use disk files (shows that
I am not paying enough attention to DB area).

So if you have enough disk space, maybe unloading to disk
is a workaround that you can try.
