The question is a bit generic...

do You want to copy a tape dataset to another tape dataset,
Or.. You want to duplicate a tape bit by bit ???

Why are you wanting to use FTP to copy a tape ?

Hi thanks for your response...

Actually my query is i had backedup all of my mainframe data into one 3590 cartdrige. Now i want to move the data from this 3590 cartridge to another 3590 cartridge using a JCL.

(1) Whether this is possible?
(2) If so can i have that JCL used.

Please help me in this..

Look at IEBGENER in the utilities manual

Yes, as soon as I have the 500 Euro for consultancy services.

You do not do this. The mainframe you are using already has multiple "copy" utilities installed.

For a simple copy, you could use IEBGENER (as mentioned above) or the SORT product. The sort will typically run faster than IEBGENER.

, depending on this is what utitily you use to copy the cart.


IEBGENER does not work too well in copying dfdss backups.

Hi,
I take back what I said earlier, I ran a DFDSS backup and copied it using IEBGENER and was able to restore the data from the copied version.

Exactly what I was going to say. I also use IEBGENER to produce 3rd copy ML2 tapes in HSM.
