Hi, Jason In my old archived memory in MPEII ... Used to be Job tape device is 10, old 1600 BPI tape drive have 4 switch 0,1,2,3 and each button correspond device, like 0 = LDEV7, 1 = LDEV 8, 2= LDEV9 3 = LDEV 10 (Job Tape). So make fcopy from card reader(LDEV 5) to Tape Drive (LDEV 7, switch is in 0) then turn around push 3 (LDEV 10) Now copies Job stream from card reader in Tape (Now LDEV 10) will strat feeding all the job.... About 2 decade ago converting IBM style card to HP Job tape streams..(stream 10)... Peter C. Jason Quigley <[log in to unmask]> wrote in message news:F4B1826B1A21D211AEC5006008207AF4011F314B@dogbert.csillc.com... But what does the STREAMS device have to do with the device where the instructions are coming from. I store jobs on disc and stream them to device 10 when I want them to run. Following this line of thought, the card reader could not have been DEV 10 could it?
