Script Parameter Passed to Ontape Restore script

Can anyone tell me the command to pass a parameter to "ontape -r" in a batch script? I have been trying the following command, echo "y\\n"|ontape -r >> ${LOGFILE}, but the y and n do not get passed. I can be reached a jhimschoot@crowechizek.com. Thanks,Jim

On some systems this means that piping in input does not work. On many systems a 'here script' will work instead: ontape -r <<EOF >> ${LOGFILEy y EOF
