6. SLTCOPY asks for the number of copies. Type the number of copies you are making at
this time.
Enter the number of copies (1-9):
You need to have more than one tape drive on the system to make more than one copy
at a time. So to make six tape copies, you need to have seven tape drives connected to
the system.
7. You will see the following message on the terminal where you ran SLTCOPY:
Reply for MASTER is needed.
On the system console, you need to reply with the PIN number and the LDEV number
of the device from which you are copying.
Following is an example tape reply performed at the system console. In the example,
the PIN is 74 and the LDEV number is 7.
?15:19/#S2/74/LDEV# FOR “MASTER” ON TAPE (NUM)?

8. Next you will see the following message on the terminal where you ran SLTCOPY:
Reply for COPY1 is needed.
On the system console, you need to reply with the PIN number and the LDEV number
of the device to which you are copying.
Following is an example tape reply performed at the system console. In the example,
the PIN is 74 and the LDEV number is 8.
?15:19/#S2/74/LDEV# FOR “COPY1” ON TAPE (NUM)?
CTRL A

Reading tape.
If you are making more than one copy at a time, you need to respond with the LDEV
numbers of the rest of the tape devices as the messages appear. The copies will be
named consecutively COPY1, COPY2, COPY3, etc. up to COPY
n
. Where
n
is the number of
copies you are making.
