I am afraid that you may ultimately find that the tape is now good. It
seems to have the headers and the directory of a STORE tape and that's all.
I would start playing with FCOPY and doing some SKIPEOFs to see how far you
can actually read.

I've tried fully-qualifying the RESTORE command,
and I've tried creating the group and account, but
the same thing happens.
Nothing on the console.
I did a SHOWJCW and SHOWVAR before and after
issuing the RESTORE command and I did find one
thing. STOREJCW gets set to "8" during the restore
and when I look that up, I find this...
****************************
A file that you tried to store, restore, or verify was in use,
or unable to quiesce a certain TurboIMAGE database.
See the $STDLIST for further information.
****************************
I don't know how the files could be in use, since they don't exist,
except
on the tape. I've put the commands in a job stream, but nothing extra
appears. Hell, I can't even find quiesce in the dictionary. Closest
I find is quiescent, which means; "being at rest". Maybe I should have
a beer...American beer...and go to sleep.
Thanks for all your suggestions. I'm determined to figure this out.

Ernie,
I don't know what's wrong, but here are some guesses. You said the tape
is 20 years old, which leads me to believe it's from a classic machine,
but I don't see the "Invoking CMSTORE" message that usually appears when
a pre-XL tape is read. Is STORE somehow fooled into treating this as a
MPE/iX tape? I looked to see if you were using any of the options that
are not supported with compatibility-mode tapes, and the manual doesn't
list any of the options that you are using. I wonder if CMSTORE can't
deal with the implied fileset. Perhaps it defaults the fileset to "/"
rather than "@[log in to unmask]@", which would probably not work with CMSTORE. Try
spelling everything out, and see if that helps.
If you get an answer, let us know!
John
