Without seeing either your code or the error messages you can not expect very much help at all.
Oh, by the way, a tape file IS a sequential file. |

U can copy the Tape dataset records in to a sequentail file.
Use the following sort card.
| Code: |
//SORT1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=INPUT
//SORTOUT DD DSN=OUTPUT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*
|
U acn also do it by REPRO.Provide ur control Card. |

Hi.
TAPE files are essentially a sequential file. I hope you wanted to copy file from TAPE to DASD. Please clarify.

i am able to do it thru FILEAID but now i am facing a space problem.
i have given 50,50 as primary and secondary memory but still failing for space error. SO i guess there are too many records in tape file.
is there a solution to get exactly what should be the space parameter of output file if such a condition comes. |

If you have access to your TMS (Tape Management Software) you can see the number of blocks written to the tape.
Number of blocks * integer(blocksize / lrecl) = estimated record count
integer (27998 / lrecl) = records per DASD block
records per DASD block / 2 = number of tracks required
number of tracks required / 15 = number of cylinders required |
