What I want to know is that if there are any problems that I have to be particularly aware of when reading/writing multivolume tapes under CMS. We have an IBM 3090, 120E. 'SAS Companion for the CMS ... System' (chap. 4 & 5) talks about single volume tapes. We do not have OS operating system yet. You may respond to me directly and I can summarize the responses for the list if necessary. Thanks for any help. --John
