TAPEMAP

TAPEMAP will read a tape and produce a detailed report of the contents of the datasets it contains.  It recognizes a variety of tape formats, including IEBCOPY, SMP, and IEBUPDTE.

TAPEMAP is located in File #299 of the CBT tape and was written by Leonard D. Woren.

 

Installation

As distributed on the CBT, TAPEMAP will not assemble with IFOX00.  However, Phil Roberts rearranged the source, moving the inline macros to the beginning of the source statements and that will permit IFOX00 to successfully assemble TAPEMAP.  I have updated the installation jobstream here to utilize the rearranged source provided by Phil, so that the TAPEMAP program may now be installed from the source code.  An additional change in this version is the inclusion of a switch to indicate that the program is executing under Hercules, which influences the default density reported by the program.

The jobstream to assemble the TAPEMAP load module - tapemap$.jcl - is contained in the archive tapemap.tgz [MD5: c65ee08bea57e03f59ca0bbe5a113029].  Download the archive and extract the contents (WinZip on Windows/?? or tar on Linux).  Submit the jobstream to assemble the load module.  As written, the target is SYS2.LINKLIB; if you don't have SYS2.LINKLIB defined, you will need to modify the jobstream to specify a target load library.  Note:  The load module must reside in an authorized library.

 

Executing TAPEMAP

Here is example JCL to run TAPEMAP that was included in the CBT file:

//CBT1215   PROC    SO=1,T1=TAPLST,UNT='(3400-6)',P=CBT1215,CC=EVEN,
