Copying Tapes

Due to the special format of the CA View tape archival data sets, normal utilities generally cannot be used to copy archival tapes. A special utility, SARTCP, is provided for this purpose. In addition, the utility maps the contents of a tape and can be used to salvage SYSOUT from a damaged tape.

Note: For more information about tapes, see Tape Management Scratch and Clean Utility (SARTCHK) in the chapter "Database Utilities."
