[log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 5 Jul 2001 11:16:31 -0500797_iso-8859-1 Greetings,
I am still getting the following errors in my syslog.log and do not know how
or why these are caused.
Any ideas.

Thanks...

I've never had to do this before.

We want to FCOPY several files from disk to a single tape. Obviously, we do not
want successive files to overwrite files already FCOPYd to the tape.

From the manual, it seems that we need to use the SKIPEOF parameter:

     ;SKIPEOF=,+1
     ;SKIPEOF=,+2
     ;etc.

Questions:

1. Am I on the right track with SKIPEOF?
2. Does the file equation for the tape (FILE A;DEV=TAPE) need to specify the
record size and blocking factor?
3. Can I mix files of different record sizes on the same tape (apparently not if
the response to #2 is in the affirmative)?
4. Can I perform this task in successive runs of FCOPY or do they all have to be
in the same run?

Thanks.
