this should work (or something similar):

{load tape}
:FILE T; DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T; FULLB.VTAPE.BACKUP
{reload tape}
:FILE F=AGING.EFACE.JOBSCOPE; DEV=DISC
:RESTORE *F; AGING.EFACE.JOBSCOPE


* it would be nice if there was a way to do this in one step, but I don't
think there is...
* there are other nice options you might use on the :RESTORE commands, such
as ;PROGRESS (nice if the FULLB-file is huge) and ;ACC=/;GROUP=
* :PURGEing FULLB.VTAPE.BACKUP afterwards might, of course, be a good idea
(depending on available discspace and whether it will disturb the next
backup)

Can anyone tell me how I can restore a single file
from an MPE (6.0) Store step that backs up all files
to DISC to a single file?

I need to restore 1 file called AGING.EFACE.JOBSCOPE
from a tape backup that contains 1 SINGLE file that
has the full backup in it.

There are 2 steps:
1. A JCL script backs up all files on the HP3000 to a
single file on disc called: FULLB.VTAPE.BACKUP

2. Then a JCL step later stores this single file from
disc to tape.

Thank you for your consideration.
