 | I work at a data center that is considering switching to Dr. D from
Faver2. We are very interested in Dr. D's capabilities for future
restores of our old Faver2 archive tapes. Unfortunately, the newest
Dr. D user's guide (6.7) excludes 'RESTORE=LOGICAL - VSAM' from the
list of valid operations on "foreign" tapes. As far as I can tell,
this makes it impossible to restore multiple files at once or use
wild-cards to select the file(s) to restore from the tape. Is my
thinking correct? If not, can I ask how these operations would be
done? And, if so, does anyone have a clever work-around for
(relatively) easily restoring some subset of files from a Faver2 tape
containing hundreds of files? In the worst case, these kinds of
restores should be fairly rare; so, we could just manually create the
operations for each individual file we want, but it would be great to
find another solution.

"down pat" means "definitely know how to do it -- sure fire -- works
every time". ;-)
At any rate... I got impatient waiting for either Jeff to respond to my
email or the list to come through once again. I called Jeff and the answer
is that it can't be done when using a binary transfer. To use a binary
transfer, I would have to create the report with the BTRNC=NO parm in the
LST card. When I told him I was transferring to an AS/400 output queue, he
suggested I just use an ASCII transfer and that the AS/400 would translate
back to EBCDIC and use the cr/lf to determine line length. This worked
perfectly. Thanks all. ;-)

| Dave,
Not sure what you mean by "down pat". I use it for several things. One of them
is to FTP the report output from a REXX/DB2 query to various recipients as a
..txt file. Works every time. Would you like to see that?

For the curious, this is what I'm doing:

printer file in a data library with the specified company number suffix)
OPEN WINSRV1.WINWHOLESALE.COM
