The main thing is to set up you tape params in the config file so that your entire archive can be done to a single "device". To do this, set your tape size sufficiently large. The reason for this is that if you should require a second device (because ontape thinks you've filled up the first device), ontape will first read the header from the tape to be sure you are not trying to write over the first tape. It will encounter an error when trying to read then rewind the pipe. --------------292535BA7826 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="SIGNATUR" Dave Kosenko Disclaimer: All opinions expressed in this message are well-reasoned and insightful; needless to say, they are not those of Informix Software, its partners or lackeys.
