Re: Vedr: Trying to automate ONTAPE

I have had problems automating ontape too. I am running on HP-UX 10.20/IDS 7.24 and neither of the suggestions below works - ontape just keeps prompting to mount a tape. Any ideas as to why this doesn't work ?

Hi Diane, I am using HP-UX 10.20 and ran the suggestions below against a 7.24, 7.3, and 9.14 IDS and they work. Gordon Diane.Houston@medas.co.uk wrote: > > I have had problems automating ontape too.
