You can do that by using a filename as your LTAPEDEV. Note that everytime you stop/start logging to that file it will overwrite what is there so you'll have to setup a mechanism to protect against that. Just make sure the file is 660 informix.informix I occasionally do that very thing if I'm away from the office and can't find anyone to change a tape for me when my pager goes off. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doug Otto otto@alldata.com Alldata Corporation dotto@calweb.com Technical Manager, Database Development (800) 829-8727 ext. 3137
