Defaults for Copying Tapes

R Brandwood

18 November 1975

The programdescribed in Operator Notice 19 is to take account of all copying possibilities. The following can be used only from the 1906A Console and assumes you wish only to do a straight copy as described.

1.  7-track owned (by :FR80TAPES) to 7-track POOLTAPE 
    FORMAT  FR80 SPOOLCOPY, tsn 

2.  7-track worktape to 7-track POOLTAPE 
    FORMAT  FR80 WORKCOPY, tsn 
    This will automatically DEAD the tape and then copy it. The 
    WORKTAPE is to be passed to the tape librarian for evaluation 
    and NEwing back into the system when copying completed. 

3.  9-track non-standard tape to 9-track POOLTAPE 
    FORMAT FR80 IBMCOPY, tsn, DECK n 
    the tsn is as per the tape label. 
    DECK n = the. deck where the tape is to be loaded. 
      A REDON command will then be issued by the MACRO.
