Usage notes

When using the TAPEEOV command, consider the following:

  1. A mount request is normally considered complete when the drive that was attached to the mount request is returned. To create a chain of multi-volume mounts, issue the TAPEEOV command before detaching the drive and before the next tape mount is issued. The data set name and request number must be the same ones that were used with the first mount request in the chain.
  2. The same DSN and PREREQ values must be supplied on subsequent TAPEMNT commands in order for the volumes to be chained.
