account. For example:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL
To copy each CSLT tape volume into a separate disk file:
1. Load the tape you want to copy from. Start with the first tape volume of the CSLT if you
have more than one. Be sure that the write enable ring is removed from the tape or that
the tape is otherwise write-protected. Note the LDEV number of the tape drive.
2. Invoke SLTCOPY on any terminal. You do not need to be on the system console. However,
you will need to answer tape requests at the system console.
:SLTCOPY
The SLTCOPY menu is displayed:
Select mode (? = help):
1 Copy tape to disk file
2 Copy disk file to tape
3 Copy tape to tape
Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E' to exit>?
3. Type 1 in response to the prompt about which option you want to use:
Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E'
to exit>? 1
4. SLTCOPY requests the name of the disk file to which you want to copy the tape. You can
specify any valid file name that conforms to MPE syntax.
New disk file name? TAPE1R55
5. You can then specify a phrased description of the file and a version number. You can use
these fields to best suit your particular needs.
After you enter the information, you are able to verify that it is correct.
Enter file description: FILE CONTAINS TAPE 1 RELEASE 5.5 CSLT.
Enter version number: 1
Description: FILE CONTAINS TAPE 1 RELEASE 5.5 CSLT.
Version: 1
Correct [YES]? [RETURN]
6. 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. SLTCOPY then begins to read the tape. It
displays the create date of the CSLT tape.
?15:19/#S2/74/LDEV# FOR “MASTER” ON TAPE (NUM)?
CTRL A
=reply 74,7
